Brief Answer:
You do not need to go back! Observe only! This is a known side effect!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this tingling that you have reported. This is a reported side effect of this medication and you shouldn’t panic at this time. I recommend that you monitor only and stay calm. All will soon return to normal. Unless something else comes u, all will rapidly return to normal.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
