The amount of side effects listed was incredible. I'd be scared to take it, but my Doc explained that during the clinical trials that may go on for years, all the folks taking the medicine may come up with side illnesses that may or may not have been an actual side effect of the medicine they are taking, and they just list them vs actually trying to make a connection. Then if you actually get one of the side effects they can say they told you so? I take a med that has to potential to damage the liver, and take blood tests every 6 months through the VA to verify no damage. The DR told me that since I've been on it for so long, the likelihood of any side effects will probably never happen, but they test anyway to stay on top of it.</blockquote>
