Do benzos (lorazepam) make you nauseous?

So I got a script for 1mg lorazepam a while back. I'm not a big fan of benzodiazepines recreationally: I've tried Klonopin, Xanax, and Valium in the past, and I've found that my fun dose is about equal to the amnesia-inducing dose, and even that ain't very fun.
I decided to give these lorazepams another try; unfortunately I discovered that they have a nasty side effect on me. Even at the prescribed dose, 1mg, which barely affects me -- a little lightheadedness is it -- I get this weird, unpleasant feeling in my stomach. Not quite nausea but close. I never noticed this with other benzos, but then my memory of those experiences is very, very sketchy.
My question is: does this happen to anyone else? Do you notice vastly different effect profiles from different benzos? Should I try to get a different benzo, give it a try?
 
Getting sick never happened to me or any one i know. But be careful! I had a bottle of 240 .25mg lorazepam, and I started taking them, and I would keep taking more and more, twisting my brain around more and more, until me and my friends were taking like 8-16 each! Those things seriously warp your thinking at high does, and will make you do insane things. Let's see, my friend slit her wrist and I sewed it up with a needle and thread?! I went to work and was passing out in the booths, yet I thought I was sober since I hadn't taken any that day, it was the night before. So be careful!
 
ive taken a pile of lorazepam (like 8mg) and always had fun, but never blacked out, felt sick to my stomach, or anything else.. but everyone's results are different
 
I just finished my 1MG Lorazepam script.
I used it pretty moderately, taking about 2 mgs at one. The one time I did get the spins I was took 4mgs and had no real tolerance for them. I defintely blakced out and I don;'t remember much from that night, so I'm sure it's the same thing that happened to you, take a lesser dose. Cut it in half at least.
 
"1mg, which barely affects me -- a little lightheadedness is it -- I get this weird, unpleasant feeling in my stomach"
This happens to me as well, only with lorazepam.
The first few times I took them I puked.You are
not the only one.
I just got some more filled so we will see how it goes this time.

I have the same side effect on lorazapam. I feel the effects and its good for about 30min. then the overwhelming nausea kicks in and i throw up and my mouth has a very weird taste to it. I don't know what's the cause of this. The first two times I tried that didnt happen. No idea.
