Sedation, dystonia: The two most conmon side effects to be on the look out for are sedation and dystonia. The change in medicine you are describing is roughly equivalent in strength so I am not anticipating major problems for you although everyone is different! i would talk with your prescribing physician about your concerns! stay safe!
