Hi,
My psychiatrist told me that (unless its a severe reaction) this med tends to have less side effects than many others. For me that was true in the beginning; I was feeling great with no side effects. My aunt is on the med and mentioned that an annoying problem for her is blurred vision but thats it.
However I had an allergic reaction and had to get off it. This is very rare, and the symptoms vary from person to person, but some things to look out for are: a rash on the skin (red and spotty - sometimes will go away and you'll be fine), swollen lips, painful mouth sores, painful swollen gums, severe headache, nausea, vomiting... These are the symptoms I experienced but there may be others. Just keep an eye out for those but I think this is a great med and if you aren't allergic to it you should be fine!
