No , as I say it was the third time lucky for me, I’ve been on them a while now at a low dose, and no side effects for me, good luck 👍

I had to stop taking it as it caused depression. A chemical depression is definitely different from regular depression. You will know after trying it for a few weeks. I found myself sobbing for unknown reasons not at all like mdd. It could have been the combination of nortriptyline which I was on for depression. Dr prescribed it for pain, didn’t help with that either. Good luck, lots of people get relief from it. Listen to your body whenever you start a new medication.

All meds can cause side effects unfortunately, even paracetamol, as said listen to your body .

I haven't had too many side effects. I do get some brain fog that clear up by afternoon -- but something else could be causing it.
