Hi ctylr1,

Thank you for reaching out to us with that great question. However, I am sorry to hear you are experiencing this.

Hi Lloydy360,

Thank you for sharing your journey with us. It’s sort of like a double edged sword; taking a medication to help with one issue may make things worse for another. Have you had an opportunity to discuss alternatives with the doctor?
