Advice/Tips Cost
Sep 18, 2008 Be careful driving/riding a bike or anything like that if you are at all dizzy or tired from this med, sometimes the dizziness comes in "waves" and can catch me off guard. < $25 monthly
Sep 29, 2008 The side effects were pretty bad for the first week, and another week after we changed my dose. I was very dizzy, had a lot of trouble with fine-motor control (like typing or using a computer mouse), bad dry mouth, and some stuttering/word searching. Everything was just a bit foggy. Thankfully these things went mostly away after about a week at the higher dose. < $25 monthly
Dec 01, 2008 The higher my dose gets, the more tired I get. All the other side effects seem to go away within a week or so of a new dose, but the tiredness sticks around it seems. I'm going off the medication for partially that reason, among other things. < $25 monthly
