Prometrium for early pregnancy

Hello-to anyone out there that can help calm my nerves.  I am pregnant with my fourth child and suffer severe anxiety.  Was told by my OB that I have "borderline" low progesterone and wants me to take 200 mg of prometrium by mouth at night.  I am VERY sensitive to meds and pick out all side effects...I am concerned that i will feel dizzy and that will make me panic-I know i need to take the med for the preg but, if I am dizzy I will be a complete mess-anyone out there NOT get dizzy because that is all I read about it on the internet!!!!!!!

Yes, I do know it shouldn't matter and I feel terrible about waiting one more day to take it.  They have only checked my progesterone at my first appt and not again-I should be around 6 weeks and was 4 when they tested it?

People react in different ways. If you have low progesterone though, side effects shouldn't matter. You run a risk of miscarriage with it being too low.
