Initially, this medicine may cause a sudden drop in blood pressure when you change positions, so it is better to rise slowly if you have been sitting or lying down. As this medicine can cause dizziness and sleepiness, do not drive or do anything that requires mental focus until you know how this medicine affects you. You can manage weight gain caused due to this medicine by modifying your lifestyle such as having a healthy diet and exercising regularly.
