Hi,

Its most common side effects include lightheadedness, dizziness, drowsiness (sleepiness), feeling tired and change in sex drive/ability. feeling tired.

When used for a long period it may cause slurred speech, lack of balance or coordination, memory problems and dependence (addiction).

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
