Have been using Symlin with some real benefits for a year and a half. Took at least six months before the nausea faded. Had me on 10 units max at first, then a couple of months ago the endo asked me to increase up to 20 units.
I got all fouled up trying that and backed down to 10 again. I think I was using too much insulin and I went for a ride on the hypo roller coaster.
I will retrench and ebb up the Symlin, and reduce the insulin one small step at a time. Also noted that with that much Symlin I had a hard time feeling like eating, felt full at first bite. Nice to get rid of the hunger pangs, but that was hard to handle, as I would not eat enough and go low, them over eat and go up and then down... roller coaster.
Hope this adds something to the discussion. Since backing off have been off the ride for a week now. Nice.
