I don't think "this is all in your head", how ridiculous. Although I am stumped as I have never heard of benzos being 'anti-emetic', but I have this same issue with them. They're highly effective for my anxiety/panic but the nausea is INCREDIBLY intolerable. It's an odd kind of nausea too. It feels like my stomach is just.. sick. Like it's full of toxins or something. I notice this same effect when taking gaba B agonists (phenibut, baclofen). I really wish I didn't experience it. I finally talked my doctor into letting me have a benzo after 4 years and she put me on klonopin, which is one of the worst offenders for the nausea. Taking meclizine seems to help, but I don't want to have to rely on taking anti-histamines daily just to offset nausea by another drug. I know this post is old, but it is one of the only ones I've seen on this topic. I was curious if this is just me experiencing this and decided to look for some help. I dunno what to do. I'm so thankful that my doctor is trusting with me. And it sucks that benzo's are effective for my anxiety, but I just can't live with this sickly feeling everyday. The grogginess and the 'hangover' is pretty bad too. It puts me in a very irritable mood. I also noticed that food and pop tase gross and "slimy" (hard to explain) after I've taken klonopin. I also feel dumb and not as sharp when on it. This sucks and I can totally relate to OP.
I've also noticed that effect where if I take klonopin and then smoke a bunch of weed, I turn pale, my limbs begin to tingle and my body pretty much shuts down and I feel almost like I have the spins from alcohol and begin to dry heave. I've also suffered this 'gag' reflex thing you speak of too. I'm truly interested in why this paradoxical effect happens to me when I take benzos. It's truly unfortunate.
