You might want to call your doctor because of these side effects as discussed here by this Memorial Sloan Kettering report :

mskcc.org/cancer-care/patie....

Here is a relevant quote :

' A certain heart problem (Brugada Syndrome) has shown up in some people taking this drug. These people had this problem but did not know it at the time. People with Brugada Syndrome have a heartbeat that is not normal and are at risk for sudden death. Talk with the doctor.

A severe and sometimes deadly problem called serotonin syndrome may happen. The risk may be greater if you also take certain other drugs. Call your doctor right away if you have agitation; change in balance; confusion; hallucinations; fever; fast or abnormal heartbeat; flushing; muscle twitching or stiffness; seizures; shivering or shaking; sweating a lot; severe diarrhea, upset stomach, or throwing up; or very bad headache.

If you are 65 or older, use this drug with care. You could have more side effects. '

I’ve been on it for about six weeks for neuropathic pain. I’m not certain that it’s helping, but I’ve had no side effects. I’m apparently on a low dose.

HelloThat's good to know no side effects but not that it's been ineffective....yes neuropathic pain is so difficult to treat and to live with ..its been something I've had for over 15 years .....on various mix of meds just new trial nortiplyine and woke with heart going fast slow fast doing nothing and muscles twitching in my neck n shoulders not usual for me ......there you go if carries on will see my Dr ! Not exactly major only low dose n just started so have no idea if it will help me either!

Thanks for replying and wishing you all best regards
