If you get gastric side effects try taking propanthaline to alleviate the problem

You have to be careful when taking this medication & be aware of some side effects.

I had two side effects from my increased dose. My GP has since decreased it.

1st extreme exhaustion

2nd uncontrollable sweating

I'm due to see my consultant soon to sort out my medication issues but otherwise I have problems with this medication but do read the leaflet carefully & watch out for side effects.
