This medication almost killed me! I went into spasms, no control over my body at time, blured vision, milgraines, rash, congestion, sweeled up my whole body, body stiffness to the point of imobility, and ultimatly almost died within a 72 hr window! This drug should be banned! Don't use it!

This medicine put me in the hospital. I was unable to get control of my legs, couldnt walk or stand. I was so dizzy that it made me vomit. The blurred vision was the last side effect to go away. Be careful w/ this medicine.
