HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Everyone reacts differently to medication or supplements due to differences in metabolism of the ingredients.
Some of the components of this supplement can be associated with these symptoms in some persons.
You can consider discontinuing the medication and noting whether the symptoms resolve to determine whether there is any link.
I hope this helps
