Answer
Hi.
I’m sorry to hear that you are having difficulty with your treatment.
I’m afraid that without knowing which meds you are on i can’t give you specific information. However a number of things can affect how you feel when you take treatment. This includes at what time of the day you take your treatment and if 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 your doctor or clinic if there are different meds available. They can also help you work out if your symptoms are caused by something other than your meds.
