Hello,

Those symptoms you describe are not among known side effects of Rapilif 8, it is unlikely that they are the cause.

So I wouldn't discontinue Rapilif, not before discussing with your physician other medications you use and their possibly being the cause, or other possible causes such as peripheral neuropathy.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
