I have taken this before and I don’t remember any side effects. I just read that if are experiencing any of the symptoms your describing that you should contact your doctor.

Hi Sarah, what dosage are you on? You should taper these up slowly. Normally with a starting dosage in my experience of 10mg. I don’t recall feeling jittery on them but I do think I wasn’t myself initially. I was taking them for migraine prevention but they initially made me feel quite depressed. It did go away though.
