Sudden Vomiting

[Robbojenney]

Hi,

I have recently stared vomiting violently everything I take my medication. I have been on the same meds (prediselone, azathioprine, coltrocine, omiprazole, excuse the spelling)) for over 8 years and have all of a sudden this has started and I'm vomiting 10-15 times and feeling really ill with it.

Has anyone had this happen to them and do they know if it's one particular medication that's doing it???

Thanks

Sorry to hear you are having a bad time with being sick. Has anything changed in your medication regime, how long have you been taking each of your medications. Colchicine can cause GI issues.

Have you eaten anything that could have been off, poultry or meat?

Prior to this happening have you noticed if you are going to the toilet more, blood in your poo, any abdominal issues. Are you vomiting any blood.

Have you tried anything to help the sickness, you can get a prescription or try over the counter ones. If this continues contact a medical professional.

Hope you start to feel better soon x

Hi,

It started about 2 weeks ago. The days that I didn't take my meds I wasn't sick and everyday I fo take them I am. Nothing has changed other than a reduction in the amount I take but that hasn't changed for a few years. It's 100% the meds as otherwise I'm OK. The problem is that without taking them everything from bechets raises its head.

It's a lose lose situation at the moment

Are you taking them all at the same time? Are you taking them with or without food, are you taking on an empty stomach? Do you take any supplements and if so do you take these at same time. Do you have other symptoms?

What have you tried, and or been prescribed?

Have you tried removing one of the drugs Azathioprine, Colchicine, Prednisolone?

hi, sorry to hear that. I have the same symptoms: vomiting. I have lost 20 kilograms because of it.

I get immediate gastric pain from PPIs like Omeprazole, so cannot take them. This is certainly the opposite to what is expected! I have to use more simple approach like avoiding irritant foods & medications.

I also get gastric ulceration from prolonged use of Prednisone/Prednisolone. Even short courses.

Also get gastric ulcer from Aspirin (confirmed by gastroscopy). Can still tolerate it occasionally as a gargle for sore throat.

Colchicine contraindicated for myself due to pre-existing muscle weakness.

Also Celebrex gives me gastric ulceration, which is annoying because it really helped with muscle, joint & tendon inflammation. Same with Naproxen. So all the NSAIDs! And the steroids!

I can tolerate Gaviscon the one for babies with no artificial flavourings!
