We started DS (5) on 5mg Equasym 3 x per day today. I have been worried about side effects as anyone would I guess. So far, so good, though we have only given 2 doses and are leaving the last dose out as it is too late really. My question is when did you notice any side effects? Do they occur straight away or after a few days or longer?

Mine took a while (over a week) to appear. But I titrated (stepped it up slowly) my dosage to avoid any surprising and negative side effects.

I anticipated a change in my pulse and/or blood pressure. Neither happened to a degree that concerned anyone. They produced other side effects with no improvement in the symptoms they were used to control.
