Hello, Terry! How is your husband doing?

Those can be side effects of this medication, as reported by the FDA and, if he's skipping doses, it would be normal for them to keep recurring from when he does take a dose. He may also experience nausea, dizziness, hypotension and vertigo.

What dosage does he take? And how many doses in a row does he usually skip? Has his doctor been informed?
