im so scared of taking this medication, ive read about the side effects and due to having a bad experience taking a different medication causing me to come of the road and end up in hospital im sooo scared, ive been on a period for 5 weeks now and all the doctor keeps saying is :i cant do anything till you take these tablets: even though i explained how scared i was, think i would just rather ride this out and see what happends. why cant there be an alternative which doesnt have any side effects that can be so severe?
