Well I started my first dose of Sulpha on Friday night.

One 1 tablet at week and increasing every week until I am on 6 tablets a day.

I am on Meth by injection once a week and do this on a Saturday night. I noticed that after I taken the tablet on Saturday and done my injection I felt really really sick for a while and really sick again on Sunday morning.

Fortunately its passed over now, but I am hoping its just a combination of the 2 drugs thats making me feel a bit yucky.

    When I began sulph my first daily tablet was taken in the morning, then after a week I added the second tablet in the evening. For every weekly increase thereafter it was the morning tablets that went up first. I take them twelve hours apart and do my injections at least one hour after the tabs. I have not had any trouble on the side-effects front but nerves and tension can make one feel odd. Make sure you are as relaxed as possible when you do the jab and I hope things improve for you soon.

    Really good luck with the sulph Debra. I found it took a while to get used to but the initial side effects went completely once I was used to the full dose (in my case 4 tablets daily) and I took sulph for many years after that with no problems at all. I always made sure I took the tablets with/after food, even if I was feeling sicky.

    I really hope that the combination of sulph and inejcted mtx helps you Debra.

    Thinking of you.

    Hi Debra

    I do hope that the sickness passes and isn't a regular thing for you.

    Even more I hope it is the combination of drugs for you :)

    Love
