I'm a little conflicted. What is she supposed to do? She's saying the side effects are intolerable, but at the same time, this doctor is corroborating her fears that she won't be listened to. I imagine the correct answer would be prescribe an additional medication for the side effects, but it's hard to say she's wrong when she's right.
