Question
I've been taking Evion for a liver infection, just like I did two years ago for about a month, and didn't have any issues back then. But this time, after starting Evion again, I've been getting headaches for a couple of days. Once I stopped, the headaches went away. Why would Evion cause headaches now when it didn't before?
