I have this fear of taking this drug because of all the published side effects but know it is for my own good. I guess I just need some assurance from people taking this drug .

Hello, Gordie! How are you?

All medications carry the risk of causing just as many side effects as this one and those listed as the most common actually occur in a very small percentage of people, generally around 1%, which is a very small number out of the million or so that are taking it. According to the FDA, the most common ones may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, stomach pain, increased urination and stomach pain.

Additionally, side effects tend to be transient, they only last for about 4 to 6 weeks, while your body is getting used to the medication, then they taper off, until they go away entirely.

It's also very important to remember that if you have high blood pressure or a cardiac condition, there is a far greater risk from letting it remain untreated and out of control, because you could have a heart attack, stroke, or congestive heart failure, all of which could be fatal.

Are there any specific concerns you have that I can address for you? I'll be happy to help!
