I have always had anxiety, on med's but for the last 2 months I have been waking every morning and vomiting.

I went to a different Doctor as I cant even get out of bed now, can't do the day to day things that need doing, have no family to help me, the doctor said to just take more med's which I have been for about two weeks now and there is no difference I'm still being sick non stop, how long does it take for the xtra meds to work??? I'm at the point I can't take it any longer

HI Milolilo and welcome to the forums

Now I am no professional. I am speaking from personal experience only. I found for a new meditation (or dosage) it takes at least 2 weeks to see it working and to feel its affects. It can take up to 6 weeks.

I think it is good that you have seen a new doctor and had a discussion about this. It is important to tell the doctor how you are feeling on any medication. Sometimes I couldn't explain how I was feeling. That is ok if you can't explain it. They should ask you questions and that will help them get a better understanding. I think it is also important to discuss side affects and deal breakers. For me a deal breaker was weight gain. I have previously had an eating disorder so weight gain can cause me to relapse. So we worked together to ensure that we got the right medication for me.

Hope this was helpful. Hope it gets better soon. I know how frustrating the journey can be, but I am glad I stuck in there.
