If a dose is missed, take it immediately upon recall. Continue as directed by your physician; abrupt cessation may be harmful. Potential side effects include tremors, slurred speech, ataxia, nausea, vomiting, acne, leukocytosis, and memory problems. Hair loss, goiter, rashes, and polydipsia are also possible.
