[QUOTE="chrissieworne, post: 186061, member: 20077"] Hi all, phew, what a response :D Well, my DN said to take it with food at whatever was consistently my largest meal of the day, this is really evening meal so that's what I have been doing. I also take Mebeverine 20 mins b4 meals for IBS. Really I shouldn't think I should take the Buscopan as well. The tum probs I am having is constant trapped gas :oops: I know that sounds funny but it is very painful, I look 8 months gone till it disperses which can take hours. It will not move so I feel as though my whole torso front and back is in a straight jacket !! Heat helps but not much else. Believe me, if it's known to man I have tried it and that includes some stange positions to force it out !!! :oops: :oops: My GP I am sure thinks I am exaggerating but prob is this is what happened with the Met. That's reason for coming off. This is why I am becoming worried as I am so praying this will ease in a few days. Thanks for all your advice, this med is definitely making a difference and I am actually struggling to eat as much as I was as my appetite has gone down!! Since my post I have experimented a fair bit and have tested a lot and have found potato and bread are main culprits for the spikes. Crispbread seems okay. I am still higher first thing in the morning than at night by about 2.0 so am going to try having a biscuit before I go to bed and see what effect that has. :?: Am not on the Amitriptyline any more, it made me terribly dizzy but luckily am managing pain okay with the Co-codamol when needed and have found an excellent freeze gel which is pricey but works well when needed. How long does it normally take for side effects to subside if I am lucky?? Again, thanks so much for your help, I felt so low today as Mother's Day and miss my son so much and spent most of it in tears and feeling sorry for myself!! I think I am low anyway what with recent surgery etc. Will persevere and see how it goes....... Thanks again, Chris. xx [/QUOTE]
