I took this drug for about a year and 1/2 and then developed a serious allergic reaction to it. I was only taking 10mg a day, but it led to severe swelling of my eyes and lips and could have led to my throat swelling shut. If you are noticing tightening in your eyes or lips I urge you to consult your doctor about the possibilty of this drug being the cause. Apparently, this is no uncommon according to my doctor.
