Hiya, I was on urso for a week and had these symptoms, also much nausea and actual vomitting.my dr took me off them 4 days ago and the lightheadedness has gone, still get the hots !! But the nausea has not really gone away.i have to start them again soon one at a time slowly and then build up to full dose.

I am not looking forward to this but have had a lot of tips from the girls here.

Its the only thing we can take..so have to persevere.

Did you get these symptoms at the start ?

Hope all goes well for you at Doc's tomorrow, I am going to ask if I can come off Urso for a while, to see if these horrible symptoms go. I am also having problems digesting food salad being the worst. Take care God Bless you all

Hi all, the symptoms you all describe are common for pbc'ers on urso, once on urso for a while most symptoms settle down.

I was diagnosed October last year, and have found this site invaluable as only other people with PBC know how we feel and what we are going through.

Wish you all well,

Agreed Lynne pretty much all your symptoms are pbc related.I get artificial saliva & eye drops from docs and take milk thistle which helps with the nausea and sickness.My prob is I don't know wether it's the pbc or all the medication that causes the sickness,sometimes it's like riding the storm which is never gonna go away,good days bad days,however positive mental attitude is still the best medicine,seriously...don't give up :))))

Hope today is a good day for you all x

I actually got sick today when driving. I pulled off at a little store and got water(cold) and a pretzel and ate and drank. When I felt better I continued home. Sometimes I think I just get dehydrated. I can not say its the meds.(Urdsoal). Take to all

I've also found that the tiredness is worse when I'm stressed,this week has been really busy at work with lots of problems and it's the first week I've suffered with the Lightheadedness so I'm thinking it's all related .x
