Thanks for the query.
Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medicine because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.

The problems you reported here can be due to side effects of the drug, but as i told you please see a doctor before stopping or changing the medicine.

Hope i helped you.
