    I took two prescription ones last night, and this morning I was feeling sick. I threw up before I left for school, and while I was at school. I would not have gone in, but I had a final I needed to take.

    They've never made me get sick before, I'm wondering if it was the painkillers or if I just got a little something in me this morning that didn't sit right. Since I've been home, I haven't thrown up or felt too sick. Though I do have a bit of a sinus thing going on, but I'm pretty sure that's unrelated.

    Did you do anything differently the night before? Did you eat something? Or maybe you skipped the dinner?

    It could be just a coincidence. Still, if you get sick while taking meds, talk with your doctor (or pharmacist) :slight_smile:

    What kind of pain medication were you taking? Some of them cause upset stomach. You need to take them with food.

    Ugh, I know how you feel. I just recently had surgery, and I took one pill, and I got really sick. I guess it just all depends on the prescription.

    Talk to your doctor, he might prescribe you something else...

    Feel Better. :slight_smile:

    It could be the pill
    or the food you took it with
    cause Yogurt isn't really a pill friendly food, but it is food.

    certain pills can make you pretty sick.
    maybe see if you can switch to a different one if this continues.
