For the last two weeks my girlfriend has been being sick alot morning noon and night. She is not pregnant as we have been very very careful. She suffers from depression, stress and takes fluoxitine for it (basicaly prozak). lately she has been crying over work and her family could the stress of this cause her to be sick?

Stress could be causing it. It could also be the interaction of medications. Or, you say you're being very careful with sex. Does that mean she is on hormonal birth control? If so this can often cause nausea and even vomiting. SHe should see a doc to find out what's wrong. good luck.

Definitely, stress breaks down the immune system, making us more vulnerable to illness, and depression does the same thing.
If she is able to exercise in any way, even just a 10 minute daily walk to start, it will help with both stress and depression.
Sounds like she could use a follow up visit with her health care provider before it gets any worse.
Sayin' a little prayer for her, she could pray too, whenever she is tempted to worry.
Take care now.

The stress could be aggrivating what is going on. She needs to talk to her dr about this to see if something physical such as hormone imbalances are coming in to play.
