I have just been prescribed 25mg daily for ongoing sciatic pain (although she was very honest in saying it might also lift my mood slightly and make me feel more able to cope with pain too which is a good side effect!).
She said that side effects on such a low dose should be minimal but look out for constipation, dry mouth and blurred vision.
I have also read numerous other common effects and wondered which ones are the most re-occurring/what am I most likely to experience on this dose, and how do you manage them?
Thanks
