I started arava on Wednesday night at 10mg. Had another one on Thursday night. On Friday I was so tired, even by 11am. My muscles were weak and achy. I spent two hours of the afternoon trying, unsuccessfully, to doze off. On top of this, I had a nausea that was the sort that makes you burp and you can feel little bits of bile and whatever slightly coming up your throat. (sorry for pictorial image if you're eating right now!) I skipped the tablet on Friday night and went to bed early and slept like a log.

I'm going to see the pharmacist this morning to see whether he thinks I should resume the tablets and stick it out or give up on them but I'd like your views too. Is it the case that 'You'll get these things while your body's adapting to the new meds and it'll settle down in a week or so'? Or should I be thinking 'You're body's not happy with these. Stop before it gets worse...'

Any advice would be great, especially if you had a similar thing with these tablets before...
