Answer
Hi,
I’m sorry you are having difficulty with your treatment.
A number of things can affect the way you feel when you take treatment. This includes at what time of the day you take it and wether you take it with food.
In the UK if someone is having trouble with their treatment they would usually be offered the chance to change to a different combination. You could ask you doctor or clinic if there are different meds available. They can also help you work out if your symptoms are caused by your meds or by something else.
