Hydroxy side effects?!

I've recently started taking hydroxy twice a day, but I keep getting very dizzy, very shakey and nauseous spells throughout the day. Has anybody else experienced this? As I don't know if it is common and will disappear as it is new medication, or if I should get down to the doctors?

Hello Becks

~it can take months for Hydroxy to work its magic, and the first month or two can often be iffy. But for those it suits, the benefits are well worth the hassle. This drug has improved the quality of my life a hundred fold ~Just don't sneeze!

Yes they tried me on this medication approx 2 yrs ago. Unfortunately, my system could not tolerate it - so i was taken off it. However, I remember my consultant advising that it can take 6 months to get into your system and start working. You don't mention in your post how long you have been taking this medication for?
