A member asked:
If i had a side effect to a medication i"ve been taking several months, why would the effects worsten rather than stay the same.accumulative?

It depends: It depends. Some medications are dose related side effects so the more medicine you are taking the more accumulates in the blood. The worse the side effect and the same when you stopped--sometimes it takes up to 1-2 months to be cleared from your body. With some, the side effect is not related to the blood level so taking more does not mean worse side effect. Which medicine do you think is a problem?
