Hello trkuk, tried first one mid afternoon yesterday, by 10 at night I was still nauseous, I could feel shaking in my body and I was a little concerned. Not sure if I want to try a second tablet yet. I have to admit despite being 6 feet tall and about 15 stones I haven’t been doing well on changing medication since the stroke 6 months. Even tablets I’ve taken in the past like bendroflumethiazide for HBP caused a reaction. My goodness I took this for 20 years so weird I couldn’t take it now. I couldn’t stomach the alternative to clopidogrel, I think it was dipyridamole and aspirin. When I trialled the latter combo I had to take to bed two hours later, shaking, prickly skin and increased nausea. Most unpleasant and Dr stopped them saying I had experienced some known side effects. Seems size is not an issue when it comes to side effects. I’ll see if I can face up to another cyclizine today. Maybe last nights feeling was an isolated event and nothing to do with the drug. Please don’t let me put anyone off their own trial, I see it’s prescribed for children over a certain age for motion sickness so think its usually ok. If I can face up to another one I’ll let you know but just to reiterate, the unpleasant feeling at bed time may just have been me rather than the drug.
