Prescribed Susten During Pregnancy. Having Tingling In Limbs, Disturbed Sleep. Normal?
Hi, I am 7+ weeks pregnant. I am 34+years of age and suffer from PCOD.
Starting Week 4 of my pregnancy (I learned of my pregnancy in Week 3 itself), my gynaec prescribed me Susten 200 BD orally. However, due to the dizziness spells that I suffered because of Susten, the dosage was reduced to Susten 200 OD.
I now take my medication at bedtime, however, have a very disturbed sleep at night. I keep waking up due to tingliness in my hands and feet and need to jerk my hands off to get some relief. Please could you advise if these symptoms are normal?
