Hello :-)

I think there maybe more of us had problems with meds than not

I am not on that combination but have had to have my meds tweaked at times that I do take

Someone could be on the same meds as you and have no problems

If you are struggling though speak with your Consultant or Doctor they are there to help and get you on the right combination :-)

Let us know how you get on :-) x

If you believe are experiencing any side effects from your medication you should discuss it first with your GP who will have access to all your medical history and is best placed to advise you.

There is the possibility your tiredness may be due to the condition you are taking the meds for. Anyway, as others say, discuss it with your GP or consultant.

Dear Tidy69

The only thing that I can add to your already great answers is that you are new on this combination of drugs and they tend to hit you hard to start. If you have not noticed a drop in the side effects { which it seems your suffering } then as other have said, its time for that Gp call.

Please remember that I am not medically trained but I have heard your words repeatedly spoken { including from me } to agree with your symptoms appear to be medication based.

Take care and please let us know the outcome, its a balance job and I would love to tell you that its a quick job, but I’m afraid that often it isn’t.

However much you are suffering please do not take it on your self to change either dose or timing of your medication without the say so of your Dr, they are important to your continuing recovery.
