I actually have a few questions about this med. I started taking 25mg at bedtime about two weeks ago for chronic pain/migraines.
I wake in the morning with a very swollen face, eyes, dry mouth and tingling fingers.....after three or four hours, the swelling goes down, but my fingers continue to tingle.
Do you think this is an allergic reaction? or just too high a dosage? maybe I could cut the pill in half (not sure if that is possible, it is sooo small)

Any suggestions? anyone been on this med?

swollen face means you NEED to call your MD. this sounds like an allergic reaction. Please call.

I tried it but it made me really dizzy. So my neuro put in on the list of the drugs I cannot take. The list has gotten rather long.

I had a bunch of side effects on it, I would talk to your doctor most definitely.

thanks.....
My initial thought was an allergic reaction too, but the swelling goes away after a few hours. I would think if it was a true allergic reaction, the face, eye swelling would stay.
I don't want to be too quick to dismiss this med.....I have tried soooooooo many, and I really need something to help me.

An allergic reaction can be fairly short lived, call your Doctor. It is much better to be safe than sorry.
