I’ve been advised to start taking mine😭
I hate the feeling I get whenever I take it but I have to since mine is very low. Though I stopped taking for some time now but I’m starting again today

I got offered them I tried them and I kept thowing the tablet up so I stopped taking them midwife said ill be okay x

Feeling dizzy or drowsy is quite normal I think. Its usually from the sudden increase in intake. I was advised to chop mine in half to work myself up to the full dose and to start off taking at night with some orange juice until I was able to tolerate a full dose in the morning. Though I was advised this due to it making me sicker

Same here been given this and was light headed sick they them gave sulfate which seemed slightly better than fumarate. Maybe ask for that instead. But they did recommend to not take everyday but every other day
