Question:
I am in my 9th week and have severe nausea which is wose late afternoon to when I go to bed. I am now taking 5 Diclectin-1 9am, 2 2:30pm, 1 5pm and the last at 8pm. This seems to be helping but I'm getting stomach cramping and severe headaches at night. Could this be related to taking the 5 Diclectin, should I try to take less? Thank you
Answer:
Talk to your doctor. It is possible that the stomach cramps and headaches are related to the Diclectin, some women have complained of these symptoms. However, if it occurs it is usually in the beginning and subsides after a couple of weeks of being on the drug. Your doctor should advise you on the best course of action.
