I was trying to take my medicines. I take Synthroid for my hypothyroid, a blood pressure pill and a Zyrtec. I have severe allergies so the Zyrtec is a must.

Anyway my discharge notes say to split them all in half and take a half at a time. Well I got the first 2 halves down with 2 separate drinks then I got a third half down with another drink then when the fourth half went down I suddenly got hot. I felt really really sick to my stomach and my mouth started watering really badly.

I sat down for a while and I feel a little better now but I still need to take my blood pressure medicine and I'm afraid to drink anything else right now.

take some time and wait it out, take the pill alitlle later.. i was banded the same day as u... Congratulations. How are you feeling about the eating? Are u feeling hungry?

I'm otherwise fine. I took the same meds yesterday with no problem. I guess today maybe I just drank too much?

Maybe, they say just wait it out... Hope all goes well..

day 2 post op is when I was having issues with vomiting too. The only thing I can think of with your pills is to take a few and then wait 30 minutes and take the rest.

Can the Zyrtec be switched to PM's since it is a 24 hour pill? I do think you probably drank too much water all at once. I agree, wait it out. I have the same problem several times a week.

I was thinking I could take the Zyrtec at night. It really doesn't matter when I take it.

Hopefully this passes soon.

hey i crush my pills in a small mortar and pestle and make a fine powder. then i mix them with some yogurt or something that i can mask there taste with.
