Although this drug has very many possible side effects it is still widely used
and requested by sufferers of these illnesses. Some of the side effects of this
drug are, headache, fatigue, clamminess, sweating, weakness and unusual excitement.
Not every person will develop all of these adverse effects and maybe only experience
relief but that will happen rarely. This drug should be taken only under a doctors
care. This medication is habit forming if abused.
