Hi, I'm 49 years old and going to be 50 in October. I want this to be a great year but my menopause is kicking my backside at the moment! I feel sick from the minute I wake up until I fall asleep, I'm also struggling with anxiety and cry at silly things. I'm taking antiemetics prescribed from my GP (cyclazine) but they make me sleepy. Any help or advice would be wonderful?

I'm new too but I'm sure more knowledgeable ladies will be along with advice soon.

Just wanted to say hello and welcome.

Nausea was one of my worst symptoms of menopause.  HRT sorted it.

Hi and welcome to MM Yvonne 26
What is happening with you periods? It's not unusual for the peri menopause stage to throw things off - the menopause can really mess with our heads!!! Read up all the factual stuff on this site to get clued up.
Nausea is common when meno hits but it's better to deal with this with some lifestyle and diet changes than taking drugs like cyclazine. Small meals often, avoid caffeine, fruit juices and alcohol and learn some relaxation techniques e.g Mindfulness, that helps to keep the anxiety under control. It's often a range of strategies, often including HRT, that will help a women through this challenging time. 
Read this great article: https://www.menopausematters.co.uk/magazine/articles-mainly.php#perils
This may help you to understand what's going on.  HRT can help balance things so look under TREATMENTS.

Nausea has been my enemy since aged 3 

Eating regularly can ease the feelings.  I would suggest that you take the anti-emetic and once it kicks in, start eating.  When do you need to take it, if necessary, maybe at night?  I always feel worse in the mornings.
