I took this medicine before and had all of the side effects on the paper does that mean the medicine was working? I have just been issued it again and if it reoccurs should I stop taking the medicine? ## Hello, Star! How are you? No, experiencing side effects does not denote anything about the efficacy of the medication for you. And no, if you are just experiencing the regular side effects, you should continue taking the medication as prescribed. However, if you experience signs of an allergic reaction, such as hives, itchy skin rash or trouble breathing, you should stop taking it immediately and seek medical attention. Is there anything else I can help with?
