Yeah, they do. Right now because I had to go off my Beta for a couple months due to some surgery I was going to have I'm experiencing the side effects all over again. At the time I went off, I had been on it several years and was having no side effects at all.

Now I've started titrating up again, and I'm having the "fun" side effects. Take a couple ibuprophen an hour before you take the shot, and then keep a couple by your bed for in the middle of the night. (Some folks I know take their shot early in the evening so they can get the second dose of ibuprophen in before bedtime.)

Hang in there...the side effects do pass (at least they did for me.)
