Before UC, I used to take spiro for hormonal acne. I went off it spring of 2012 because we were considering having kids, but then I got sick and I've pushed that out at least another 5 months to let me see what my UC is going to do.
Anyway I figured since it is going to be a few more months, I'd go back on the spiro - I take a very low dose, 50mg, and I took one yesterday with my mesalamine. Within an hour I was so weak I couldn't stay awake, and I was throwing up water. I thought it was because I worked out too hard the night before and got dehydrated, because that's exactly what it felt like. After drinking a ton of water, I felt better in the afternoon.
This morning I took the asacol, went to work, had breakfast, and felt fine. Took the spiro. An hour later I threw up breakfast and all my water! I've been shaky and sleepy all day. I guess I won't be taking THAT anymore!
Has anyone else become intolerant of drugs that were totally fine pre-UC? I just thought it was strange since I was on it for so long before.
