A few: At least 15 clinical studies involving approximately 900 patients showed very mild adverse reactions. Most adverse reactions included headache, dizziness, dry mouth, and GI complaints such as nausea and diarrhea. This herb does have documented drug interactions, so be sure to let your doctor know you are planning to take it if you are on any prescription medications.
