No, that is definitely not normal. You need to inform your doctor and try a different medication, the swelling indicates that you may be allergic to this one.

As listed by the FDA, such allergic reactions typically get worse with repeated exposure, so please do not take any more of this medication.

Its typical side effects are listed as possibly including dizziness, drowsiness, headache, dry mouth and weight changes.

Is there anything else I can help with?
