Administer this medication with food, consistently at the same time daily to ensure therapeutic drug levels. Complete the prescribed course of treatment; do not omit doses, even upon feeling improved. If a dose is missed, take it immediately upon recollection. Continue taking this medicine as directed by your physician; abrupt cessation can lead to adverse reactions. Potential side effects include involuntary tremors, difficulty speaking, ataxia, nausea, vomiting, acne, leukocytosis, and cognitive impairment.
