Slept 2 1/2 hours that night. Through the 5 days my resting heart rate was 75-85. It's never so high. | If you take this daily you must do so by 9 AM or you will most likely not sleep well. If you have high or even borderline blood pressure or glucose make sure you take a low dose or find an alternative.

I also now have blurry vision from glaucoma - my eyes had been improving before this. I also have osteoporosis and osteopenia. Dont take this drug unless all other options have been explored. After 3 years it took ME going to an allergist to find out my hearing loss was caused by a combination of allergies. I also have an upper cervical misalignment (which does not allow drainage of my Eustachian tube). ENTs are prescribing this stuff like candy. | F | 60 | 60 days 60 mg 1X day | 10/5/2020 | 1 | Sinus infection | I experienced night sweats, depression , anxiety, paranoia, and loss of appetite.
