I feel sick - need help with Topa

[Mariesc]

I was so excited to start Topa. I had one 25 mg pill last night and I also started most of the vitamins although I'm waiting to get a few more. I am also waiting for the CD's to arrive.

This morning I started just feeling terrible from the SE. I feel the tingling but also feel nauseous, dizzy and have felt like I was going to throw up a couple of times. I can't continue if this is how I'll feel.

I had to come home from work and go to bed. I got up again and still feel like crap. I'm so jealous of people that have had minimal side effects.

I have a call in to my doctor to see if I should try cutting my pills in half or get the sprinkles talked about in the book.

Any advice?

Thanks.

Hi Mariesc,

Vitamins can make you feel that way - I had none of those issues on Topa, so you might want to cut back on the vitamins for a day and see if that helps. Make sure you eat a meal, not just a snack, when you ingest large amounts of vitamins. A sure way to get vomity is to take them on an empty stomach. Hang in there!

Marie - I agree with Bruun - the Topa doesn't do that - vitamins do do that to me. Cut out the vits and see how you feel on the Topa. Just for a few days. Hope that helps.

The only new vits today before I felt sick were EPO and milk thistle. I took them after eating a bagel. I also took kudzu but I've already been taking them.

I spent most of the day sleeping. I sure don't feel like drinking tonight!

I haven't heard back from my dr. I'm kind of afraid to take anything tomorrow.

Thanks for the support.

Mar, are you having diarrhea? I've found with nausea and diarrhea with stomach upset, the anti-diarrheals fix me up quickly. Miraculous.

Good luck, let us know how it goes with the doc.

PS - try ginger for upset stomach.

Better today

Hey everyone,

I am going to "formally" introduce myself on the Topa list. I am already so glad to be here.

I also decided to change my user name. So that's why I'm not longer shown as "mariesc".

I cut my 25 mg pill in half last night and today is a much better day. I was able to go for a run. In the event that the EPO was the culprit, I did not take it this morning and will take it in the evening. That will let me know if it's the EPO or the Topa. Feeling a little sleepy today but overall great. I didn't feel like drinking at all last night because I had felt so yucky so it felt good to wake up without that guilty, foggy feeling.

I didn't sleep well - woke a lot and had weird dreams.

Today I picked up the All One and Calm Forte. So now I have all the basic covered until the CD's arrive. :thanks:
