HI; This is the thing, some of these side affects are not listed and it makes you wonder why. If at one time they were there, then I think they would still affect some of us in these ways. The drug companies don’t want us or the doctors to know today with the net what some of these drugs can do, and when we take them the doctor does not realize or do we ,that it is the drug doing it. gary;
