Hellloooo fellow anxious friends! I’ve had an issue with my gag reflex being abysmal when trying new foods, especially with overly soft or overly “rough” textures. As I’ve gotten older I try to breathe and calm myself but that can only do so much for me. I recently tried something and while it was being cooked I felt like I was going to pass out..i felt jittery, light headed/dizzy, clammy, heart racing, etc. I liked the food….. no issue with the texture or taste yet i still rejected it. I gagged and got frustrated after trying a few bites that i just ate something else. 

I was wondering if getting on Anxiety and anti-nausea meds would work for this? I had anti-nausea for this reason and it seemed to work okay-ish but the anxiety was not treated. I was previously prescribed Zofran for the nausea and recently prescribed Zoloft but i didn’t end up taking it because i’m also on Adderall and i was hesitant. But now I’m willing to give it a try :) is it worth talking to my doctor about getting back on Zofran and Zoloft? 

TLDR; will Zofran and Zoloft help with my anxiety and gag issues when trying new food? 
(ik zofran won’t prevent gagging but id rather gag and get used to the food than gag and throw up after lol)
