Well things affect people differently. It was a bad thing for me to drink. I necer get sick from drink and the night I drank I thought I was going to die. My friends almost took me to the hospital.

I have nothing against drinking. I don't as a personal choice, but I don't have any problems with it. It just doesn't go together well with taking medications or with weight loss. Promise, I was not trying to make any judgements on drinking in general!!!!

Well I did not have any sickness from drinking and I think that you probably got sick because you didn't eat anything all day so your body just rejected all the alcohol.

I would recomend not drinking at all or if you know that you are going to go out that night dont take the pill in the morning. I did that when I was on vacation. I knew i would be drinking and did not want to take any risks. So better be safe than sorry.

I experineced vision blurriness, lightheadedness, slight nausea, spaciness. I was at work and I had to eat something even though i wasn't really hungry. I had one bite of a donut and about 4oz of o.j. and that was all I could bear to eat. I felt like I would be sick if I ate, I was so disgusted with the food. For lunch I tried to eat one of those frozen weight watchers meals. I could only force down aboy 2 and a half raviolis and a few sips of water. Later that evening, around 9PM I met some friends at a bar. I barely picked at an appetizer and drank 3 glasses of wine. Where I would normally be buzzed from a few glasses I was smashed. Shortly there after I became viloently ill, throwing up what little food was in my system for hours. It was horrible. The next morning I still felt out of it and nauseated. I felt like absolute hell all day long. That said I can't even smell alcohol while taking this pill but I am also experiencing a lot of the side effects. I wouldn't advise anyone to drink on it or at least not more than a light drink first to see how it effects you.

Maybe try just taking half of the pill at a time. I just started taking the pill again, but I have taken it before, with similar side effects to what you are experiencing. This time around, my doctor has instructed me to take half at 11am, and the other half at 3pm. This way it works throughout the day, and you don't have that sudden kick of side effects. Hope this helps.
