My side effects were
dry mouth
dry eyes (couldn't wear contact lenses for 8 weeks)
trembling
excessive sweating
vivid dreams
high blood pressure when dosage increased to 150mg/day - it returned to high normal when dosage reduced to 75mg/dayI am on buspar to help with the sleep, and xanax for generalized anxiety.
For me, the side effects were pretty awful, but I feel, overall, the best I have in years. The side effects took as long to subside as the med did to have its full effect.
Good luck - rainyday.
