Hi Dianne, I was prescribed this a few years back. To be honest I didn't find it that helpful but nor did I get any side effects. Best just to give it a go for a few weeks and try not focus on what may or may not happen with side effects. If you get the right medication it could be a massive help so I would say it's worth persevering if you can with any initial side effects.
