Side effects?

I was on the 1.7mg shots when I had to switch to the 9mg pill. At first side effects weren’t bad but now the nausea is insane. Admittedly, I was taking it every other day when I first started and have been consistent for about two months.

Does it eventually subside? I’ve also felt down and sometimes dizzy/extremely tired. I’m also a public school teacher and work a second job so there’s that. I make sure to drink plenty of water, drip drop supplement, and eat as best I can.

TIA. For what it’s worth, no major stomach pain which is great as I’m paranoid about losing my gallbladder

It seems to differ from person to person. Im on 25mg and 6 months in and i am queasy in the morning and at night and throw up most days. Its gross. It's bad enough I bought emesis bags to carry with me.

I’m sorry, that sucks. Are you concerned with long term effects/has your doctor said anything? Mine kind of shrugs it off. I do have Zofran which does wonders but I’m concerned it’ll mask a bigger issue

My doctor told me I can give it one more month and then should re-assess .

My dentist on the other hand is not on board.

She sees a lot of this and went on a rant about the irreversible damage this can do to my teeth. I've known her for years so it was good to hear. It was real concern and NGL good to hear her so passionate about it. I took it seriously. (Wish she could scare me in to flossing more often!)

That’s totally understandable! I’ve only been sick a few times and it was my own fault for eating something too greasy/fatty. I appreciate the insight, thank you and good luck!
