Side effect: Drowsiness and fatigue can be side effect of your medication. I have not used this product and will likely NEVER use for any of my patients at any time. I far prefer OTC agents such as butterbur, riboflavin, Co-Q10, magnesium. If your pizotifen helps, you might modify dosing. Discuss with your doctor.
