Some common side effects of this medicine include headache, nausea, vomiting, abnormal vision, and dystonia (involuntary muscle contractions). Initially, this medicine may cause a sudden drop in blood pressure when you change positions, so it is better to rise slowly if you have been sitting or lying down.

This medicine may increase your weight but, modifying your lifestyle by having a healthy diet and exercising regularly can reduce this side effect.
