Nausea after 6 years taking Allopurinol 300mg
I’ve been on 300mg allopurinol for the past 6 years to manage my UA. Sadly I have not reduced my weight successfully and still lead a decadent lifestyle e.g. Obese at 235 Lbs at 5″7″ in height. The past 6 years I have not had a major attack, perhaps just a twitch or two when I overindulge in food—thanks to allopurinol. I do notice though that if I miss taking it for more than two days, I’d usually get an attack hence I have not reduced the dosage to the ideal 100mg.
During the new year, I decided to go on a plant-based low carb diet to lose weight.
2 weeks into the program while going about my regular daily routine, I felt some nausea two hours after taking allopurinol. And it has been that way the past 2 weeks.
In fact, every time I ingest something I get nauseous after two hours. It seems to be heightened after I take Allopurinol.
How did I know?
Well after my first episode of nausea I tried to reduce my intake to 100mg. I was able to get by and was still experiencing nausea but not as bad as the first day.
Today I tried upping the dose to 300mh and boom. I was barfing all over.
Has anyone experienced this?
Any advice and insights are highly appreciated.
Thanks
