mild nausea, slight dizziness - what might be described as a "buzz", some trouble falling asleep, felt very twitchy and would wake up frequently during night.
It worked for a little while, but I had to keep upping the dose to keep on top of the pain. Ended up giving up when I was taking 1500mg a day and tried something else. The weight dropped off straight after I stopped taking it.

severe bone pain in my back and hips
I took this pill for the first time to help my BP of 140/100. I took it at night so I wouldn't feel or notice any side effects. I woke up up with a migraine (feels like I got hit with a bat on the back of my neck) at 5am and 12 hours later, my head and body are sore and I'm only able to move like a 90 year old (but I'm still young). I never get headaches, my eyes never hurt like this and this is the 4th prescription I try. Keep in mind I normally feel great and sleep fine. I exercise & eat right but high BP runs in the genes. There is no way, no how I would take this again just to feel like crap. Pharmaceutical companies are just putting out junk. Don't take this stuff if it makes you feel worse.

Problems can START once you STOP taking this drug! After finishing the drug, I now have terrible skin reactions to eating and washing the face: burning, stinging, redness, pain, inflammation, itching, hives. It is terrible. And my eyes are still super dry and hair loss.
