Anyone on or have taken Motegrity?

After 2 months on Motegrity (generic for the past 5 weeks), I have started having bad dizziness every day that hampers normal activities. But this didn't start when I began with brand-name Motegrity. I take it with lots of water all day, and CALM, a magnesium oxide supplement powder, recommended by my gastroenterologist. I don't know if the dizziness is caused by Motegrity affecting my brain or if it is unrelated. I do not have positional vertigo (BPPV) but it feels like vertigo. I don't drink, either, but I feel like I did in my 20's after getting drunk. Not the brain fuzziness, just the unsteadiness. It also makes me feel nauseous. Motegrity has allowed me to have much less constipation, the first treatment to help, so I need to know if I should keep taking it or get off it. My gastroenterologist and his staff have too little experience with the drug to tell me one way or the other.

@tumblewind - I wanted to let you know I moved your post to this discussion so you could join in with others discussing the same topic about which you posted:

Since you mentioned your gastroenterologist and staff do not have a lot of experience with this drug, it makes sense to look to another authority who may have a longer history with it. Have you by chance asked the pharmacist who filled the prescription or the customer service line for the manufacturer?
