This medication has caused severe facial and scalp itching and inflammation along with severe hair thinning and bald spots. It has also caused severe joint pain and sensitivity to the sun. Each year, the symptoms get worse.

Comment:
This medication caused me to have SEVERE diarrhea, quit taking it two days ago and still have to run to the bathroom every time something hits my mouth. While it did help some with the swelling in my ankles, my blood pressure still remained high. I only took it for a few days though.
