Hi Lisa,

Yes, ultimately you do need a doctor's advice. If he's not available, could you at least get ahold of another doctor in his office that might be able to get back to you? Another idea is to call your pharmacist. They would have a better idea than any of us would.

So sorry you're experiencing bad side effects. I echo the thoughts "don't let this scare you away from trying other meds." I hope you find something that works soon!
