OMG!- These side effects are terrible! I 've also experienced leg cramps, insomnia, irritability, fluid retension , hands and feet swelling. But the cramps are the worst!! I thought that the decrease in dosage would relieve my side effects but they are still there. I am taking this short term for erythema nodosum caused by an antibiotic. I can't wait to get off of this medication. I don't think I want to take this medicine ever again.
