Dont play video games.. If you get sickness while playing games, chances are you arent addicted yet.. So, itll be easy for you..
On a side note, see here..
This can arise due to rapid flashing of screen and is a common nervous defect among many people

Try adjusting the FOV, play around with them and stick to the one you're comfortable with, works for me 
That's an awkward suggestion to someone who's presumably not addicted to the games yet
If you ever feel that, you should stop playing straight away. Try the suggestions given here. If they don't work, either consult a doctor or give up on FPS games. Have you tried playing while sitting away from the screen, with a controller or wireless keyboard/mouse?
I repeat - Don't EVER continue playing while feeling nauseous. This is not something to take lightly.

Discuss the problem with your gf and ask her to call you so much that you won't get time to play and ultimately leave it out of frustration. Else tell your parents, tell you are unable to study and will fail this year. They will break your gaming gear and scold you so much that you will forget about gaming.
If you own a console, send it to me, I will play and won't pay you. I will sell it back to you after about 6 months when you get over your addiction.
you know what, many including me get nausea while playing FPS. So I mute the game sound and play music loudly in headphones while playing FPS. This helps me.

If someone's having symptoms of something like photo epilepsy while playing games, really what can one do to counter it other than stop playing ?

The screen refresh rate should be set at 60-75Hz.Display drivers and GPU drivers should be installed(Latest).
People who did not get addicted to games yet should follow the above steps. It will reduce eye fatigue and normally playing FPS games gives nausea to some and that should be avoided.

People having such problems as well as others should stair at other places than the screen for 10-15 seconds after some intervals or when the game is loading etc.
I had this kind of feeling when i played CueClub [the pool game]. i stopped palying it.
It had mentioned a warning that the lightning effects can cause sickness.

hmm..
@OP -
You might have already seen warning messages during the start of any game that if you find yourself uncomfortable playing the game, you should immediately stop playing it. And its better to avoid games that you are not comfortable with and look for other genres.
For instance, I cant play zombie games as they look so yucky and very uncomfortable looking at the zombies. Not that I am scared, just that I cant take it. And so I never play such games. Its better to avoid rather than inflicting yourself with such totalitarian state of feeling.
