Hi šŸ‘‹, Getting medication right for patients is largely trial and error by doctors because our patient chemistries are so different. šŸ¤”

If side affects are mild & tolerable then it is possible to wait and see out the recommended 4-6 weeks for the meds to take full effect. If not, the doctors have a few different drugs available to prescribe based on their clinical knowledge and patient reports.

Hoping you can find the right one or combination real soon šŸØ
