Some yes, some no: It is not reported as a common side effect, but it is acknowledged. Some say take Buspar (buspirone) too and it will be fine. I'm not trained to prescribe and that's fine by me. I'll let those who find them useful do it. Ask your prescriber for advice - it helps them do a better job to hear feedback from their patients.
