I'm currently on it and have been on it for almost 6 months. I didn't have any at first but after a while I started to become dizzy. I was told that hardly happens so you should be good!

I’ve been on it for a couple years and honestly the biggest side effect is just dry mouth and weird stuff with constipation but nothing awful really, I just need mouth wash in the morning

Took my first dose today immediately I felt a little calmer but could be placebo and just relived I finally got the prescription. Lol had a bit of heavy eyes but no body tingles or drowsiness so I’m relieved it’s not a heavy knock out feeling. I was told it builds up over time. I’m also on a ton of other meds that range from light headedness, nausea, dry mouth, exhausted etc so they kind of all blend together at this point unfortunately
