MedicationSideEffect: If you ever wonder whether your symptoms are a result of new medication(s), it's always best to contact prescribing doc and/or dispensing pharmacist. Both should've informed you about potential risks, benefits, alternatives & side effects before prescribing. Doc should also tell you who to contact & when for what. But you also need to tell doc everything you take eg dietary supplements, OTC meds
