Tried hyzaar, with litle success. taking tekturna and bp has been lowered . little side effects, tired, thirsty and occasionally fatigue. libido has to be increased but regulating time of ingestion of medicine and seems to be working. usally taken after relations and it seems to work fine. have devEloped a bp chart to monitor the bp. the hct works but it does not bother me as im a late going to bed person. will keep tekturna users posted.

lol never again. like amanda up there said earler, everything is true. I has to take the meds for 7 days without drinking, my bday was June 19th, i had to drank. I took the med that morning, and i drunk that night a half pint of gin and two shots….Next morning i threw up all day til that night. I tasted the meds(i know TMI) when i threw it up. I almost called in to ER, i had to lay down on the bathroom floor for about an hour, would've been longer until one of my peeps bammed on the door. Stomach pain out of this WORLD. I thought i was going to die. Trust me when that label says NO ALCOHOL……it means NO ALCOHOL. Yall talkin bout i has a glass of wine, datz prob y u didn't get sick. Don't do it, just don't do it lol.

Wow, what a holier-than-thou comment, Phil. We are all human and make mistakes, and just because we drink a little, or a lot, doesn't make us alcoholics. So, do us all a favor and get down off of your soapbox, mkay?!

"I'm sure that you can stay away from alcohol for the few days you are taking it, and if you cannot, it means you have an alcohol problem."

Go fuck yourself Phil.

I am an 32 yro MD, and yes I've learned that Metro and Ethanol shuld not be mixed together. I very rarely consume alcohol. I was on 750mg 3x/day for 10 days. On 10th day I by accident consumed about 0.17 oz (~5-8ml) of wine. I didn't get flushing, I got a bit of weird feeling in stomach after 2 hrs, a bit of gas the day after. Otherwise I was fine. However, I strongly, really strongly recommend others not to drink. I'm sure that you can stay away from alcohol for the few days you are taking it, and if you cannot, it means you have an alcohol problem.

Every person reacts differently to drugs. Why experiment and risk vomiting (and vomiting the medictaion, thus missing the dose) when you can stay away from alcohol , complete your drug regimen and be fine?

If you do drink while taking Flagyl, it's AMA (against medical advice) and AYOR (at you own risk).

Comment on Januvia is going to eat Byetta's lunch by Lisa

Lisa — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 04:07:31 +0000

I've been taking Byetta for over a year now, (a "10" dose in the morning, a "10" dose before dinner, and a "5" dose at bedtime). I have been taking it in conjunction with glucophage xr (metformin): 1500 mg daily. While my blood sugars are improved, I've lost NO weight on Byetta, despite a carefully tracked 1200 calorie per day, 30% carb nutrition plan which is implemented at 5 mini meals a day, 2 hours of ZUMBA a week, 2 hours of cardio kickboxing a week, 2 hours of weight training a week, and 3 hours of Iyengar yoga a week (I am the instructor for the latter). I have had my BMR calculated for baseline purposes, and my bodyfat by electrical impedence. Since using Byetta, I've gained body fat and lost lean muscle. Go figure.

My endo put me on Janumet today…. one tab (50/500)to be taken with dinner. I'm still to take the Byetta and glucophage xr. Ignorant as this sounds, I could give a rip if it lowers my postprandial BG readings (they're already fairly controled on the byetta and metformin alone). I am seriously needing and wanting to lose fat. If Janumet/Januvia does the trick, then I"ll be one happy T2!

I laughed out loud "literally" after reading another Jen's comment (#9). That pretty much sums up what I went through last night. I really thought that the warning was on there because it decreases the potency of the antibiotic. OH NO, that is not the reason! I woke up last night after consuming some jagermeister after an argument with my most recent ex, then taking the pill before going to sleep, and I woke up this morning trying to figure out why I was dying. After throwing up for what seemed like forever, I finally managed to crawl to my laptop and found my answer via Google. I will never EVER drink on this again. I am sitting here at work feeling like I consumed several bottles of alcohol all by myself and I am afraid to take my next dose.

Judy,

I have tried moving the patch around and was told that I needed to do that. I typically don't care in the winter any place I was told where there was no hair. In the summer I put it on my lower back, thigh etc. But I don't absorb it well in some places not sure why. I did use the second half of the cut patch… I had to use the white circular pad to go over it though it didn't adhere as well ( the halves) .

I am on the .2 so you are on the lower patch…just watch for spikes…
