For more details consult your doctor or prescribing information of drug.- Yes the drug has side effects like nausea, dizziness, vomiting, drowsiness, sexual dysfunction etc side effects. Over all at prescribing doses it is relatively safe to use.- No this is not true that one will not have withdrawal symptoms.
