Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Yes, it is reported: Call to tell your Dr - especially if it's lasted more than a few days. This may not be the only choice of treatment for your complaint so work together to either find alternatives or to find ways to tolerate the side effect(s). They can't help if you don't advise about responses. Best wishes!
