What Causes Weight Loss And Swollen Ankles Post Acitrom Withdrawal?
I have stopped taking acitrom 2mg and 3mg that i was taking on alternate days three months back after 9 years on the advice of the doctor. it was started in 2005 after smv thrombosis and diagnosis of me being protein s positive. I have lost lot of muscle mass and weight post the stoppage. Is it because of reduced blood circulation after stopping the medication. Also i have slight swelling and pain near ankle and palm.
