Hi,

But like other medications this medication has some side effects of its own. It may cause diarrhea, anorexia or loss of appetite, signs of liver problems like nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, yellowing eyes or skin, dark urine etc, muscle weakness, tremor, allergic reactions and many more. Despite having side effects, it is not recommended to stop taking this medication without consulting your prescribing doctor. If this medication is suddenly stopped, then you may experience some unpleasant symptoms like dizziness, confusion, headache, feeling of sensation like electric shock, changes in sleep patterns, tiredness and many more. Your dose may require to be gradually reduced to subside any side effect.
