Kev,

I've been on it for over 18 months and hardly get any SEs now. The only ones are jaw clenching and some very vivid dreams. I had more effects to start with but they soon passed.

Everyone's different though - if you're worried, I'd discuss it with your GP. Sometimes, you just have to weigh up the benefits against the negatives and make a choice. I'd say that there's no cause for concern though. Your SEs are the most common (see the info leaflet in the box).
