other reviews have been very helpful- I didn't experience any side effects until being on it for approx. 1 month and glad I knew this was coming. nasty taste in mouth at all times, eating anything feels like chewing cardboard. face is flushed all the time and mild rash on chest. not sure I can continue to take it.

Have been taking this drug for almost 4 weeks. My feet seem softer to the touch but haven't seen much change in the toenails. The side effects and the way I feel is what concerns me. My joints seem to ache and I am so tired all I want to do is sleep. I am so tempted to go off this drug altogether. By reading all the review it seems the side effects show is some people and not others.
