    Sorry Margaret, but what tablet was this? Was it a one off or have you been prescribed them. It is always a good idea to ask your Dr what it is they are giving you and if there is any known side effects. Also, I always look up online the drug I have been prescribed and check its side effects. But until we know what the drug is I cannot help. Sorry. I hope you are feeling better this morning though. All the best, christina

    Since you haven't told us what the medication is all I can ask  is have you read the sheet that came with the tablets telling you what side effects to watch out for? If you can't contact your doctor since it is Saturday, do go to the chemist and ask to speak to the pharmacist about it to be sure. 

    By the way, I've asked for this conversation to be moved as i don't think it belongs here in this thread which is a bout a form of rheumatism/arthrtitis and you don't say you have it.

      No - I've never heard of anything like that. Did they at least change the medication? 

      I do hope it doesn't happen again.
