I too have suffered with nausea over the last six months.  I ended up with extreme anxiety over it thinking something was really wrong with me.  I then started to feel depressed about it and the true signs of depression came on the crying, tiredness, and some others.  Once I started zoloft and hit the right dose I realized that I had been depressed all the time.  My doc says that I showed my depression in an atypical way through the nausea.  Have been feeling much better for about a month and a half since on the right dosage of the zoloft, still have the nausea every now and then like today but I try not to stress about it and realize that it isn't anything extremely serious and it usaully goes away.  I had all the stomach tests and all kinds of blood tests and nothing wrong.  So yes depression can cause nausea.  Hope this helps and good luck.

what has your doctor said?  a bunch of people on a medical forum can't take your relatively nondesript symptoms and offer you an accurate diagnosis.  that's your doctor's job.  we can offer support, suggestions and help, but i think you need to get some bloodwork and a physical first!  and i hope you feel better and get some answers.  i know it can be frustrating to wait, but if you never get in to see anyone you can't progress toward finding a solution!  good luck and come back to post when you have some details about your health and labwork.
