Hi Teddyboy

My hubby has been on this for about 4 years now.

He had bad headaches initially but eventually they eased off. We thought he might have to stop at one point and they got worse when he increased his dose.

They did stop but it took a little while

Chris

I am on it and no side effects ; if your headaches persist perhaps visit to GP would be best. Warm Wishes

I had to give it up as the side effects didn't get any better for me
