I agree with the 'Christmas hangover'... I feel like my head is going to explode and I will almost spew every morning.......  Currently taking efexor after changing from Zoloft.... Not 2 sure if it working properly...

I've had nausea and appetite loss and dizziness for many months, and did not know if it was caused by depression.  I have had scans and blood tests, but nothing physically wrong was found, so yes, it must be the depression.  I did not know this could be the cause.

I have been diagnosed with depression. I feel totoally nauseated every single day of my life. The mornings are the worst. I did try takeing the SSRI meds. I must say, it did work. However because of the weight gain I stopped. I am so sick now, I am thinking about going back on them. Lexapro was the med for me.

Hope this helps.

I feel you, i have always known i was depressed and i tried to talk to people about it especially my parents but they always just avoid it, now im suffering more than ever, my stomach hurts mostly when i eat or dont eat, and at night or early mornings when my depression is the worst. I have no energy and never feel like doing anything besides sitting here at my computer. i guess tomorrow im going to take it on myself to set up an appointment, i have to do something, my only symptom that i dont really have is thoughts of suicide, i think that means yes.

I was having nausea and some vomiting before my new job. I thought I just caught a really bad bug but I still feel off.

Depression can cause you to be nocuous and so can anxiety.    A lot of Dr's say that your stomach is your second brain and you hold a lot of emotions in your stomach.   If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
