I have just started on my medication on Monday and fell nauseas.

Im on Ropinirole for my PK and Sertraline for angsiaty

I feel worce now than before I started my medication.

Any ideas?

Sorry

I've just noticed the spelling mistakes

Hi DJsteve

I always have my breakfast first, Muesli, fruit and yoghurt, then take my tablets with a drink of fresh orange juice. I do try to take my tablets at the same time every day. (why I told you what I had for brekki I really don't know ha!)

When I first started on the tablets I did feel sick, horrible feeling. Ginger is good for nausea apparently.

Dear DJSteve,
It is always recommended that you take Ropinerole with or soon after food. It does not have to be a full meal - just a few crackers will do. If nausea /sickness continues to be a problem, ask your GP/consultant/pd nurse about Domperidone , which can be very effective.

I do not know about the other drug you mentioned.
And do not worry about spelling mistookes!

Best wishes

Thanks everybody

Hi DJ,

Its worth trying a different manufacturer. I used to feel terrible on the first brand I was given but tried different brands and now have one which suits me fine. Ask your pharmacy if they have any other options. I go along with everyone else that you must take this drug with or after meals.

Good luck
