As someone else said, meds effect everyone different. I always had side effects and I distinctly remember the side effects from the first shot being the worst. I dosed up on ibuprofen and drank lots of fluids on shot night. When it seemed my body developed a tolerance to the ibuprofen, I started taking Theraflu about an hour before my shot.
Good luck!

i think i am messing up this reply thing...but thanks for your insight...i am pretty sensitive to meds--usually take half a dose of stuff or cut it in half--not scared of needles but i am scared of wasting the expensive little vials
