Answer 2

Most side effects stated by others are true.  However, if your Doctor prescribed this medication for you, the benefits out way the risks.

You have to remember that ALL drugs have a huge list of possible side effects.  Even something as simple as Tylenol.

I would suggest that you voice your concerns with your Doctor if you feel uncomfortable about taking this particular drug.
