Hi Ging#75,
Thank you for your post. Questions about side effects from taking medication are a common question in this thread. I can't offer specific advise about side effects as every medication has a different side effect profile and each person will react differently to a medication based on their own body chemistry. Having side effects can cause worry for some people which can make the experience of taking medication more difficult. You are not alone. I had side effects from taking antibiotics just recently and even though I knew to expect them, I still felt stressed when I experienced them.
If you are feeling distressed by new side effects, as romantic_thi3f has suggested, a great start would be to talk with you local Pharmacist where you can can discuss the side effects of the medication you are taking. They are able to offer a good summary of the most common side effects, less common side effects and explain whether your experience is expected. They may suggest scheduling a visit with your Doctor which is also another option. A visit to seek advise from a health professional can really help resolve worry and make the experience of starting a new medication less stressful.
Another strategy is to start keeping a daily side effect journal about your experience with the medication and any new sensations in your body. This can help a health professional get a better understanding of your experience.
Wishing you the best possible outcome,
Nurse Jenn
