Hi there. thanks for asking. The dose of medication you are tsking (sizodone) is very low. At this dose it almost does not have any side effects. However, it may casue dry mouth, restless feeling in the legs, neck spasm at higher doses. It also may cause change in bowel habit at higher doses. As a very rare side effect, it may cause change in temparature with change in other aspects of regulatory system that is very rare, especialy at this dose. Let me know the other name of Bexot that you are taking. It is a name that company gives to the drug. let me know about its generic name. I am waiting for your response.
