It's not uncommon to find side effects that can be harmful with some medications, even if only rarely. This is something that you should discuss with your doctor. He might want to start you on a low dose and gradually increase and watch closely for adverse side effects. Obviously we cannot predict which side effects might appear in which patients. You can get a list of known side effects from googling the manufacturer's website, or sites like WebMD. Remember though, these are every possible known side effect, not that you will suffer these side effects, and some may be so minor that the benefits outweigh them.wolram said:
