Anyone use ginger candy for nausea and have a recommendation? I really, really, really do not want to vomit because of the Zepbound.

But also ask your doctor if they'll prescribe Zofran (ondansetron) for you. That really helps.

I just get candied ginger. The hard candy might work better for sucking on over a long time though.
When I was on 30 mg of Celexa with UHG I took one and a half 20 mg pills. Now that I’m with CIGNA I have to do the two prescription thing with a 20 and a 10.

Candied ginger is great.
Huffing ginger in any form can be helpful.
Stirring this into seltzer at various strengths is a big hit 'round here: [link] It also makes its way into cream of rice when not much food feels like staying down.
You can also keep alcohol wipes handy. If you rip one open under your nose and take a good hard whiff it can stop vomiting in its tracks. My aunt the nurse taught me that. It doesn't work forever, but it'll keep someone from booting on you or while you're moving them to a preferred booting locale.

I should probably try this. Any time I get any way under the weather, my system at least debates a vomit. Maybe my stomach's like Dawn all "GET OUT! GET OUT!"

The ginger mints from Trader Joe’s are very good, and I recently found ginger chews at the Dollar Store that are also very nice.

I strongly recommend getting a few rx meds from your doctor. Like maybe it won’t be an issue but maybe you can head it all off with a tiny number of pills.

My doctor's pretty responsive, so if I have problems I can get an Rx from him quickly.
He also the other day, said without prompting, that height didn't really affect most things, and I started with, "Except BMI," and he joined in, "which is bullshit."

Sounds like the doctor version of a keeper.
