I just starting taking this drug at bedtime three nights ago and I cannot sleep, and my asthma gets worse and my muscles feel weird, uncomfortable. I'm tired and normally go to bed around 11 pm after the news. I take my pills and a few minutes later I'm wide awake when I finally fall asleep around 5 or six am then have weird dreams. I have fibromyalgia so my muscles normally hurt but this is different. My husband is very active, he has been taking this medication for some time and he has foot numbness and we weren't sure why he is suddenly 'awake' after going to bed. I would not recommend this drug.

This drug just about killed my husband 15 yrs ago. First he got week, sore muscles, like he was getting the flu. Within 3 days, he could barely walk. He had been taking this for awhile. We went to various docs and hospitals, but no one could figure out what was wrong with him. Quit taking this drug and much of his problems cleared up. Recently, Dr wanted me to try it.

This drug just about killed my husband 15 yrs ago. First he got week, sore muscles, like he was getting the flu. Within 3 days, he could barely walk. He had been taking this for awhile. We went to various docs and hospitals, but no one could figure out what was wrong with him. Quit taking this drug and much of his problems cleared up. Recently, Dr wanted me to try it. I've given it about 3 months now. Suddenly my hair is falling out, I have no strength and am tired, and my muscles hurt like I'm getting the flu. Stopping immediately. I highly recommend you do not take this drug. You usually don't experience the side effects initially, they come in later, after you are no longer thinking about this being a possible cause.
