    Hi All,

    So I started taking 100mg of Allopurinol 1 week ago (yes I know its a very low dose).  I also quit smoking cold turkey at the exact same time (after 17 yrs).   Anyways, yesterday I started getting VERY fatigue and had bad heart palpitations.  Today I feel much better (still have palpitations a little though), but it made me think, side effect of Allopuriol? nicotine withdrawl, anxiety maybe? I know I'm on such a low dose, but wanted to get some input.  I actually just left a message with the nurse stating that the 100mg was not bringing me below 6.0 based off of my home test kit and I asked to increase my dosage.  Should I have mentioned these symptoms or should I wait it out a bit more?

    Dr's office called me back (fastest return call I ever received from them :)). Anyways, they told me to just come in the office tomorrow morning.  I'll post results later

    When I started with 300 mg, on the day 1, I felt very lathargic, with flu type feeling. It was a weekend so I reduced my dose to 150 mg next day. That worked better but somedays, I still got some itching(minor) and some dizziness ( which could be due to BP medication that was started due to Mortin induced BP). Anyway, over a period of time, I got adjusted to it and for last one month I am taking it now with dose increased to 200 mg for last one week. I know for sure that some days, I get anxious and that makes me feel many vague symptoms that go away after some time.

    I guess, these symptoms may go away but doctor is the best judge.
