I've experienced occasional night sweats (usually following a dosage increase). Overall the medicine has been a spectacular and has provided a degree of mental clarity I have never known before.

I have been using this drug to treat hemifacial spasms per doctors advise; but am worried about the length of time staying on this drug. I have been on 4 pills per day for 3 months now. |
