    I do not know what you are using this medicine for, could it be diabetes or an anxiety disorder?

    There are other things you should know while taking this medication as it is classified as an anticonvulsant.

    However, here goes the general answer to your question:

    Central Nervous System: Dizziness, fatigue, confusion, euphoria, incoordination, nervousness, neuropathy, tremor, vertigo, somnolence, ataxia, amnesia, abnormal thinking

    Eyes Ears Nose & Throat: Dry mouth, blurred vision

    GI: Constipation, flatulence, abdominal pain, weight gain.

    Musculoskeletal: back pain

    Other: impotence.
