Yes. Talking with your physician about any and all prescriptions, especially when you have a bad reaction, is a good idea.

Nope. Adverse reactions (or no reactions) aren't good. Leave a message with your doctor's nurse. Your doctor will read it today and respond.

Realized my first post wasn't detailed enough.


When I called and left a message for the dr on friday I never heard back ,so I'm still taking my two meds but having bad reactions too it .Also anxiety is really high.

Hm. I would keep trying to call and leave messages. Or, if you have a second physician, ask him or her.
