Comment:
I have been on this medication for about a month. Since about the 3rd week and on, I've been experiencing increased muscle cramps. This is happening too often. I've decided to stop taking the medication and see my doctor next week. And honestly I think it makes my BP lower than the norm for me when I didn't have BP problems.

I take this medication in the morning and go to the washroom almost every hour. I am a 48 yo Asian male. I skin has become very sensitive. I've developed rashes and have more food sensitivity.
