Side effects of medication.

Fee1Senior Contributor

Side effects of medication.

Hi, I have been on medication for quite a while and find it invaluable for controlling MI symptoms. The problem is the side effects. Aside from causing weight gain, they seem to suppress the immune system, so I am physically sick often.

The other problem is sleep. I find if I have not eaten enough carbohydrates or had 2 glasses of wine during the day I can't sleep. Does anyone else suffer from these or other side effects?

Hope you are all coping during this difficult time. Best, Fee1.
