What made you start taking gravol? I've only herd of people becoming addicted to it after having kemo, severe nausea, liver problems etc.
I'm surprised your doctor didn't give you some different option for you to work with.
If someone uses this drug for more than a few days they can develop tolerance to it. You would need to take larger doses to feel the same effect (Which it seems like your starting to do). When dependent users stop taking Gravol, they experience withdrawal symptoms such as excitability, weakness and discomfort, poor appetite, stomach cramps and nausea. As there are some long term side effects like depression, loss of energy, thinking and socializing disorders I would get off it before it becomes worse. Have you ever felt any “highs” from the drug or hallucinations?

Dear Alcohol4ever:
Doesn't sound very good, and understandable that you would want to stop this addiction.
Good start though, you know that you started taking them because you were feeling sick every night. Maybe look into why you feel sick every night and get that figured out. Your doctor can help.
Good Luck.
