I'm going to have to tell my doctor I can't take it. Last night I increased the dose, after a week of the starting dose. During the first week, my face would occasionally burn, but today after increasing it last night, it has been worse than all week. It's the left half for some reason. I don't understand why half my face burns but the other half is ok.
