Nausea on Levo?

So, I've been on levo for a week now, and about an hour after taking it each morning I feel nauseous and have a really upset stomach. Is this normal? I take it early, at least an hour before eating. Am I taking it correctly?

Hopefully someone will comment - I live in Greece so take different brands. Have you checked the ingredients ? - are any suspect for you ?

Try halving the dose for a week.

Also think dose might be too high as feel hyped up and on edge.

If you take an anti-histamine tablet one hour before dose and you don't have the same reaction, it is due to the fillers/binders in the tablet, so you'd have to ask pharmacists to give you a different make.
