HI
Thanks for posting this query .
Dizziness , nausea , abdominal discomfort are common side effects of Methimazole . But there is no need to panic or stop the drug . These side effects will wear off with continued usage .
I advise you to take half a tablet every night for 3-4 days and then start taking full dosage . I have used this drug to many patients and many have complained the same but after following this regime they felt better .
