For Gout, Acute "Colchicine really helped my gout flares when I took the 2 pills followed by 1 more pill, but I also had some side effects. My stomach hurt, and I felt dizzy. I am type II diabetic, and my blood sugar levels were higher on the day I took colchicine. My doctor prescribed a daily dose of colchicine, and I only took that for a short time. I really had a terrible reaction to the daily dose. I will continue to take it for sporadic gout attacks."

For Gout, Acute "I was taking 0.5 mg colchicine every 12 hours. Felt extremely tired and have been having difficulty with breathing, as well as a little dizziness. Another side effect that has been bothering me is feeling numbness and tingling in my arm and fingers. Also have excessive gas, black stools, and dry mouth. Besides the effects, it has helped with my never-ending flare-up."

Colchicine for Gout, Acute "Within 30 minutes, I became very dizzy to the point of becoming disabled. Further investigation revealed other inactive ingredients contained within the capsule that I couldn't tolerate. Don’t ingest this medicine, stay with colchicine alone!"
