When and why should I bring up side effects with my doctor?

So I always tell people that if you're in doubt, just reach out to us. So I would rather hear about every little thing than someone to gloss over something that they didn't think was important. Because I think it's really important to let your doctor know early, because maybe we have a quick and easy fix, like some of our medications, people can get nausea and we can find an easy fix for moving the dose from the morning to the afternoon can make a big difference. So we often have some quick fixes and quick tweaks. So we prefer to know earlier than later to prevent people from suffering at home without any help. So always reach out to your doctor early just to talk about what tweaks we may be able to do to help manage some of these symptoms.
