Hi Kristi,
You probably would find out a lot of info by looking back at past posts on this subject. There are many!! I had to cease the combo for a week as my side effects were quite severe, but after returning to the regime and gradually increasing my dose I have been OK. Still have the rash though, but we all react differently, I guess.
