Hello, Ivan! How are you?

The U.S. FDA does list those as being possible side effects of it, as well as nausea, dizziness, mood swings and weight gain.

However, not everyone experiences all the side effects of any given medication.

Have you had any problems with it?

Can anyone else that's taken it chime in?
