CHECK WITH YOUR DOC: as you know all medicine have a side effect, and to take medication that correct only the side effect of other medicine might not be the smartest thing to do my advice check with the physician that prescribed you the medicine and discuss the side effect of your medicine may be you can reach a nice compromise as a medical student avoid any medicine without prescription in case you have to do screen
