I'm still getting used to the idea of having to take meds, but an impression I'm getting is that my system is very sensitive indeed to many meds.

The latest med they have put me on is alfacalcidol, 1x 0.25 every other day. I was fine for the first couple, then third fourth turned my stomach upside down, within 5 hours of taking them, such that rang the doctor for advice. I was told I needed them and there was no alternative, but to take them on a morning, rather than an evening, so would not be kept up feeling ill. I have kept on with them, noticeably feeling ill on the days I have taken them, but I think my body has gradually acclimatised to them. The leaflet with them mentions nausea as a possible effect.

I had similar issues with doxazosin and with iron tablets too.
