Hi
Welcome to HCM
Ya the above symptoms which you mentioned are classical features of wysolone
the replacement medicines which have been given come to a category called Immuno sup-presents these are slow acting medications ad hence it wil take 2 to 3 months atleast to show there ful efficacy so unless you have taken these medicines for 3 months i advice you to continue the same for one to 2 months more
But if you have taken this for 3 months and still not happy with the results you can ask your doctor to prescribe a different medicine from the same category that is Immuno sup-presents
