Not at all: unusual to have "tachyphylaxix"a fancy term for the same dose of a medication not working after a while. Two ways to "deal" with tthis 1. raise dose/or frequency of the medication (IF TOLERATED) 2. STOP medication for a week ("Medication Vacation") the restart. Sometime SWITCHING to another similar medication will do it! SPEAK WITH YOUR PRESCRIBING PROVIDER Hope this helps! Dr Z
