Let your doctor know, they might be able to switch meds, or advise how long to wait it out
Dear You
Unfortunately a lot of medication has these side effects even if you have never suffered before with them.
Make a note { keep a diary } when this happens and contact your Drs, there are many forms of drugs that do the same job without side effects.
It can be hit and miss.
I normally wait 6/8 weeks personally to see if the side effects calm once my system is used to them.
But please don't suffer when there are alternatives especially with bulk standard medication.
Hope you get it sorted
Take care.
