Side effects of a medication

Hello. I've been taking Inderal on an as needed basis. It seems to be the only thing working for my condition. But I have a question, the only side effects I experience are fatigue (at times), cold hands/feet, and sore throat. It states that I should stop taking the medication immediately if I experience these side effects. Can these really prevent me from taking this medication that seems to be the only one of its kind to me feel some what normal? I really don't mind them at all, I just don't want to make my problems worse if you know what I mean...

I also suggest that you report the side effects to your doctor.  However, if the benefits of the drug helps you more than the side effect hurts you I'm betting the doc will encourage you to stay with it.  Also, often side effects disappear after a period of time.  If you are feeling better for your condition, obviously it is helping you.

If it tells you to stop taking it if you have thoughs side effects then that means that more harm than good is happening to your body and in the long run you will pay for it. That wouldn't put it on there if it wasn't bad. I promise these phamacutical companies could care less about you, but by law they are required to put it on there for your safety. Go talk to your doctor about it.
