New Med Question. Pt 2

[Anthony K]

I was prescribed a new drug in the market called Tyzeka (Telbivudine). 600 mg. In combo with Hepsera 10 mg.  After 3 nights of taking Tyzeka, I gave up. The Medicine really weakens me and makes me cough severely. I make sure I take it at night just before bedtime in other to sleep thorough the after effects. But each morning, I get up feeling really sick. I can barely perform at work.
  I stopped taking it and continued only with Hepsera. Anyone with Such experience? Any advise? The next time I see my doc would be couple of months from now.
  Thanks in advance.

Tony.

Hepsera is not giving me any problems. Tyzeka is the main problem here. I It drives me crazy. I serched the web for side effects and Most of the things listed are the things I'm experiencing. i.e. Cough, muscle tissue weakness and lots more. I have taking it and currently taking only Hepsera.. I hope after my text and when I see the doctor, He'll put me on something else.
