Today I can add another to my list of side effects. My feet and ankles have swollen up huge. A girl in the store yesterday said I looked very tired and unwell. People at work notice lots of the symptoms. All this because of an acute asthma attack caused by other people smoking. I've reduce the dosage by 5mg today and yesterday down from 50mg to 45mg and today I'm having a harder time breathing. Where does this all end? It's all very depressing indeed.
