Hi, Coachtex!
"Side effects have been reported to be generally mild and transient. They are most common during the first 2 weeks of treatment and decrease in intensity and frequency with continued treatment. They generally do not lead to treatment cessation."
They should be subsiding for you pretty soon now. One thing you could do is ask your pharmacist to recommend products to help resolve the stomach issues. Many times the OTC remedies will work.
If your side effects persist, don't respond to remedies, or are severe you might want to ask your doctor about lowering your dose temporarily to help your system adjust more smoothly to the
medication.
Best regards and you really should be feeling better soon.
