It may take about 4 to 5 weeks for it to reach its full level of efficacy in the body to see how well it will work for you. Has anything changed?

The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension.

Are you on any other medications?
