Thank you for your incouragment. I need all support I can get. So far it is not getting easier. But I keep hoping. Ellen. I do not think it is the byetta per se that is making you feel lousy. If you are throwing up that much, you are probably dehydrated. Plus, your Electrolytes are probably messed up. Why don't you try a couple of days off the byetta, and drinks lots of fluid, eat some good potassium foods, then try again? Also, I find the closer I eat after I take my shot the less nausea I have. You might also want to get the dr. to prescribe some phenergan for the nausea. I hope this helps, I know you must be miserable. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Thanks to everyone who responded to my post. No, my bg is not low. Apparently I am one of those "rare" people who cannot take Byetta. I think I will stop.  These vomiting took tall on me. I feel so lousy, that I do not want to be alive. Here is the list of my other medications: Norvasc Fortamet (Metformine) Effexor XR Isosobrite KCL CR. I had such a hope for Byetta, but I think it does not mean to be. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Hi,

I vomited once on the first or second day and I think that was because tuna just doesn't seem to agree with the lizard. Now I only have nausea occasionally. I've been on for four months. I couldn't tolerate the ten. I never vomited on it, but the nausea was too much. My numbers are pretty good on the five. Check your bg when you are feeling so terrible. You might be too low and having a hypoglycemic episode. I have very little energy, but not as bad as you describe. Check your numbers when you're feeling really bad. If it isn't really low for you, I'd see the doctor. How are your numbers? If the five is getting you normal numbers, you might not have to go to the ten. Keep us posted on how you are doing. Kathy, MN Hello. If you do not mind I would like to share my experience with Byetta. I would appreciate your input on how common and normal these effects. I am quite nauseous to a point of vomiting every night, after this the relief  comes and no nausea. I feel very weak. Even taking a shower is a chore. I am just drugging my feet and gladly stay in bed. No energy at all, and of course constant hunger, dizziness and light headed. All this when I am taking 5ug. I am afraid even think of what to expect at 10ug. I would welcome your suggestions and thoughts. Thank you. Ellen.

I've had nausea a lot to the point of vomiting but I always feel much better afterwards. Are you taking other meds with Byetta? If so maybe they need to be adjusted.
