I was on one medication when swallowing was hard they converted it to liquid. It subsided!

Hey all mankind has various side-effects to this or that, whether it be a medicine or not but I'd address my physician about that matter. I myself take three different Epileptic drugs presently and have taken plenty of others, I'm allergic to four of them we know as of now. The last one they tried me on was Fycompa and they had to hospitalized me until it had cleared from my body, lost consciousness etc... Do NOT put it off bud. Smiles!!! 👋

I did not have any trouble with swallowing water when I used to take medicine!

Could be caused by the time of the month. I have been on multiple medications and have not ever noticed anything
