Side Effects
Side effects can vary from person to person and are hard to predict in advance. If any side effect appears or seems to be getting worse, the doctor should be told right away, so they can decide whether it remains safe to keep taking Anoxa. The most common side effect is drowsiness. Less commonly, some people notice blood disorders, a change in libido, dizziness, excitement, fainting, headache, liver problems, loss or lack of muscle control, nausea, skin rashes or eruptions, sluggishness or unresponsiveness, slurred speech, fluid retention causing swelling, tremors, vertigo, or yellowing of the eyes and skin. Stopping Anoxa too quickly, or reducing the dose too fast, can bring on withdrawal effects such as abdominal and muscle cramps, convulsions, low mood, trouble falling or staying asleep, sweating, tremors, and vomiting.
