Bottom line, how can I deal with the nausea until I see the doctor in three weeks? Are herbal pills the only option now?
Here's a couple of anxiety treatments to try.

General Anxiety Disorder - Is it Normal to Fear?
I was diagnosed with General Anxiety Disorder last year; it was really bad, I was worrying about everything and afraid of everything.

When I�m driving I feel dizzy and I feel like I�m going to have a heart attack. I have been on anti anxiety medication before but it never helps!
I too deal with these anxiety symptoms, but much more severe.
I began taking Topomax for the panic attacks, but I would suggest starting out at a low dosage because the day I started at 100mg I had a major panic attack.

Separation Anxiety Causing Loss of Fur
My cat is 2 1/2 years old. We did have another cat that he grew up with but then she passed away about a year ago. Since then he has been loosing his fur and has scabs all over him.
Anyone have any suggestions on what to do for him? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Could this be separation anxiety? When my husband or I come home he's all over us and won't leave us alone.
I do believe cats grieve, and that separation anxiety can aggravate a lot of physical problems, but it sounds like this is a physical problem that hasn't been properly diagnosed and treated accordingly.
