Hi, I'm on my 8th day of opti which is going okay but  today I'm getting a little bit of the dizzies.  Anyone ever had that?  I am having a hard time getting in all my fluids, I do drink the 4 opti's and am trying jello, broth and such, do you think that could be part of my problem?

Thanks.

I had a no-carb stint once and I was dizzy and even passed out a couple of times. Check if you sugar is really low

Hi Cottagenanny,

When I went for my consult with the nurse at Humber I was told to pick up some sugar free candies for light headedness, when I take he Opti. She said after the first 1.5 hrs after taking Opti each day it can cause the dizziness. Maybe try this and hopefully it will help.
