New meds messing with my noS
Posted: Wed Sep 29, 2010 3:12 am
My doc just started me on some new meds to treat pcos. I took my first dose yesterday and was sick as a dog all this morning. My roommate who uses the same drug for his diabetes (metformin) has strongly suggested ramping slowly up to the dosage my doc wants me on instead of trying to jump into the full dose first day. Also to keeping some small amount of food in me at all times to counter the nausia and stomach cramping effect for the first 2-4 weeks.
I am going to be putting NoS on hold till I can get a handle on this new drug. I guess the plus side of these meds is that they really kill your appetite. I had to force myself to eat 1 piece of toast with some cottage cheese this afternoon. Dinner was small portion of a salad wrapped with a tortia.
I am going to attempt to cut my 1 plate meals in half and eat each half about 2 -3 hour apart. Hopefully this will help with the upset tummy. Still going to avoid sweets till the weekend if I still actually crave them. I don't think seconds are going to be an issue at the point but i'll keep and eye out for how much i am really putting into my body.
My main concern is not maintaining that 3 meal habit. I was just starting to get my body trained to expect only 3 meals. I know NoS doesn't have a strict meal limit, but to me i feel staying with 3 meals is best in the long run.
It's still only the second day of the prescription so i hope to adjust soon and be able to be a strict vanilla noser again.
