Hi and thank you so much for this query.

This is a well known side effect of this medication and there is really nothing that can be done to reverse the symptoms. However, discontinuing the medication can be considered should the symptoms be so severe that you cannot cope with. Pain medications would also relief you f these symptoms but not stop the cause. Try to drink as much water as possible and also do mild exercise, they do help!

I hope this helps. I wish you well. feel free to ask for clarifications and more information if need be. Thanks for using our services!
