I had a friend who was on this medication. But he also smoked. He experienced a lot of odd side effects, which could have been compounded by the smoking. I wonder if lifestyle factors play a bigger role in these side effects.

I was really nervous about trying this medication, but the benefits have outweighed the side effects for me. Just remember, everyone is different, what works for one might not for another.

A word to the wise: Keep an eye out for any changes in your skin, especially moles. I didn't think much of it, but turns out it was a good idea to get it checked out.

I've been on this medication for a few months now, and while it's definitely helped with my symptoms, I've noticed some pretty intense dizziness. Has anyone else experienced this?

What do people think about the sudden sleepiness? I’ve heard some crazy stories about people nodding off mid-conversation. Has anyone experienced that?

The medication has been a godsend for my parents—really helped with their mobility and daily activities. Although, the dry mouth is occasionally a bit annoying. If anyone has found any remedies for that, I'd love to know!

I've been on this for a year and half. The bad dreams are the worst by far. It’s like living in a horror movie every night.

I agree with the person above about the dry mouth. It can be a bit of a pain. Also, I wish they wouldn't make the tablets so small, harder to swallow.

I was so scared when I started feeling weird urges and having trouble controlling my body movements. I called the doctor right away, luckily it was just the medication.
