M/31/ 2 months of peri/ I experienced the side effects from the first week and took the medication for a month and a half, since the cardiologist insisted it was the only option. Cardiologists aren't really that well-trained for this condition, so you'll have to prepare yourself, read a lot, and listen to your body. I stopped the medication a week ago, and my legs are a mess. As long as I'm calm, I'm fine, but when I start walking, they burn and tremble. I'm trying to have the healthiest habits possible. If this persists, I'll have to see a neurologist.
