When to contact the doc

This is always the question that is on my mind when I'm not necessarily feeling right with the medications I've been prescribed.  I'm not one to complain all the time.  I was just making my own decisions when it was time to quit a medication.  And it had to be bad for me to do that!  But now I'm getting into these medications that the side effects kind of slowly creep up.  By time I really begin to pick up on it, I'm not even in my right mind to make the decision to do so.  Not to mention, I'm not wanting to ruin a good thing.  Is it doing more harm than good??  I think so!  But I could be wrong, so I continue.  As I said, I don't like to contact the doctor unless it is some sort of emergency.  This may sound like a goofy question, but when do y'all contact the doc??  I don't want to sound like a big baby!  I'm sure doc has enough of those to deal with!

If really unusual symptoms occur, let us know or call your LLMD. Rather have you safe.

Not a stupid question at all. You said these side effects come on you slowly.
IMO, if you were allergic to a med you would know it pretty quickly.

It sounds more like a herx which is not fun but at least you are killing bugs.
