Thank you dr.Can you also tell me the sdide effects of Loricon?Should I really continue Talo s even I have side effects?
Brief Answer:
Yes you can continue the medication.
Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir,
Welcome again,
Side effects of Loricon include weakness,confusion,drug dependence ,drowsiness ,light headedness,mood changes,muscle cramp,nausea etc.
But side effects may not be seen in every case.
So I advise you not to worry much and continue with the present medication.
You can use both Talo-s and Loricon.
If your symptoms are intolerable you can go for Tab.clonazepam instead of Talo.
So please discuss with your doctor whether he shares my view.
