Talk to the Dr: The Dr who prescribed is a good place to start w/ asking questions. If you still feel uncertain, ask for a referral to a specialist who can help more. Not normal is a mistaken way to look it at. It's not a good thing if there is a solution available but it might be a helpful thing if it gets you the right treatment for the cause!
