I can tell you what the side effects are. Upset stomach..headaches..dizziness, increased sweating and appetite. Possible weight gain and acne can occur. If you are female, it can make the monthly cycle irregular. I also read that one should tell their doctor if they experience rare symptoms such as dizziness, fainting or numbness in the extremities. More dangerous symptoms include bruising easily, joint pain, irregular heartbeat, mood swings, or difficulty breathing..etc. I found this information on aol health web MD.
