[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 469124, member: 7083"] They start slow - at 25mg and work slowly up to 200mg. There is a risk of Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (rare) which is why they start so slow. It can cause some insomnia. Sometimes they want you to split the dose. I don't. I take it in the morning. Some side effects you might notice that seem odd, but really aren't threatening are tingling of the tongue and lips, insomnia or, conversely, drowsiness. I can't think of anything else. From my experience and from talking to others, it's typically an easily tolerated medication. The most important thing is to not miss doses - if you miss too many it can cause a seizure. [/QUOTE]
