Hi, Scooter!
It would extremely uncommon for adverse reactions/side effects to still be affecting you after a year. An adverse reaction would be immediate and wouldn't last long unless it was severe like an allergic reaction. Side effects generally resolve within a week to 10 days or so.
Have you let your doctor know you're having problems and let him know about your symptoms? You'll want to be sure that there's no other underlying cause for it.
Uncommon or not, I know it happened because I am living it.
Been to a few doctors, no answers.
