That nausea is the worst! You could try some ginger or peppermint tea to help with it. Also, since you have an infection, you could skip a day or two of the 6mp (I do when I have some bug or other). It builds up slowly in your system so it won't make a big difference. Do you take it with a little food?
good luck.

I wouldn't mess with your 6mp dose too much. Missing a day here and there isn't a big deal but if you overdo it: bad news.

The nausea is more likely to be from your latent infection than the medication. Did they not prescribe antibiotics?

Try taking it before bed with a snack. That way you sleep through the nausea.

This. I take my imuran at night. One night I forgot, so I took it the next morning. I was nauseous all morning.

6MP can make you nauseas, I figure it triggers the body's 'OMG its poison' response - I threw up spectacularly on just 50mg.

As the others have said, try splitting the dose with food or take it at night so you can sleep through it maybe. Alternatively get some anti-emetics from your doc until you get used to it.
