@johnjtgg I agree 100%. The part I just don’t get is when you tell your doctor what you are experiencing and they don’t believe you if it’s not in the written side effects or if what you are experiencing is a much more intense side effect than what was written. I truly think it would have killed me, my decline was so intense and quick. I understand it’s a new drug and they don’t know everything about it, but then they don’t believe their patients. That was the worse part. I also have been very in touch with my body throughout my life. I am intelligent. Why wouldn’t my cardiologist treat me with understanding and compassion? I really hated how much distress he caused me.

At least you have/had the gray to have stopped. I seriously believe many people don't know what feeling optimal is. Then they are prescribed a medication, and they think that this is the new normal regardless of how the medication makes them feel. Because they have never felt as if they are running on High Octane or feeling exceptionally well most of their lives.
That's unfortunate that your Cardiologist wasn't more sympathetic with your situation. I would have had a hard time holding my tongue. I'm wishing you all the best....
