Dr. Lynne Weixel answered

Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Discuss w/ provider: Side effects - especially extreme ones - need to be brought up as soon as possiblr. They learn more from this than anything else - both about the drug and you. Tell your doctor over the phone - ask for an appointment - but don't stop or modify the Rx w/o them knowing and advising. Best!
