You have to give them time to work Hon - that is the sucky thing about new meds - we often have to get throught the initial side effects until our body gets used to them and then also need to wait until they begin to have the desired effect. Are you having any side effects @outlander?

Thats whats worrying me @Zoe7 i dont know whether its worth riding it out or not. All of last night i was because of how sick i felt and was like getting stomach cramps, woke up and was hoping when i sat up it wasnt all going to come up and have had headspins/blurred vision so making things hard.
Edited because it made no sense!

Are these side effects your GP said might happen? When do you see her again @outlander?

Sounds like you need to give them time to kick in and ride out the side effects but if they get any worse and you don't think you can handle them then try to get into your gp sooner and if you can't go to emergency @outlander

Does it state the side effects in the packet of your meds @outlander - if it doesn't can you look them up. It may be worthwhile to see if it is a common side effect or something more serious that you need to see a professional for ASAP.

So it seems that it is the case that you may need to give them some time for your body to get used to them then Hon - it sucks but if they are going to help you in the long run then it will be worth it for some discomfort right now @outlander Every single med that I have had has had side effects to begin with and as hard as it has been sometimes I have riden it out - finally on some that are helping and hope that is the case with you too.
