Consider switching, please!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about these adverse symptoms that you have witnessed on these medications. For sure they are severe enough to warrant a switch. I will not feel comfortable refilling this medication for my client after knowing that she develops such terrible and frightening symptoms after taking the drug.
It is rather unfortunate but, the friendly drug for you have not been identified. Please, accept trying a new drug in the hope that it may be able to control your disease condition without causing these annoying and unfriendly symptoms.
I hope this helps. I wish you well and thank you so much for using our services. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
