Narcotics cause nausea for many people, including me. For some reason, lots of Drs don’t know this and I always have to ask for anti-nausea meds when I need a narcotic. Phenergan and Compazine are the two I know. Both of these also potentiate narcotics, meaning that you can take lower levels of narcotics and get the same level of pain relief. They will make you sleepy, though. Another nausea remedy is Zofran. I am a nurse and psychologist and don’t understand why Drs don’t understand this problem with narcotics. You have to ask every time.
