Hi, Danni!
How long have you been taking it? Side effects generally subside over just a few days to a week or so.
You can ask your pharmacist for a recommendation of OTC's that will help with the nausea such as Emetrol and Dramamine.
If you can stomach anything at all try soda crackers or vanilla yogurt, peppermint or ginger tea or ginger ale may also help.
Best regards and I hope you're feeling better quickly'
