Hi Alyssa,
>From my experience with met, always, always take it after having eaten
something. Or at least a glass of milk. And try to take it at the
roughly the same time (not that I always remember.) Your morning dose is
probably making you sicker because you haven't eaten since the night
before and your body needs a buffer.
The other thing is don't feel bad about calling your doc. This is
his/her job and you shouldn't have to put up with feeling horrible. It's
hard because this is a frustrating disease and often we don't feel that
something is wrong unless we are taking our meds.
Good luck!
Rachael
