I also started at 0.5mg and from 1mg up I’ve had morning nausea and dizziness which typically clears by mid afternoon until my provider increased to 6mg. I’m now back at 4mg but after several weeks about 50% less morning nausea and dizziness (but still there daily). My provider (a large Univ Covid Clinic) is now changing me to sublingual from capsules. But since my Ling Covid neuro-inflammation also impacts my GI system, this might be the issue.

@onpainsufferer You might want to find a good compounding pharmacy and have it made into a liquid. That makes it easier to change and control the dose...also gets rid of a lot of the addictive they use in the pills.
You also need to increase the dose very, very slowly to minimize side effects. Most start at 1.5 and increase 1.5 mg per month to a goal of 4.5. Some start even lower like you did but you still have to increase the dose slowly. I take 5 mg per day and feel better than I did since getting covid 6 years ago. I have been on it over a year and have little to no side effects as long as I take it in the morning...taking at night gives me insomnia.
