Neurological symptoms such as dizziness, drowsiness, or paralysis may also appear, so caution is needed when driving or operating machinery. Gastrointestinal symptoms may include dry mouth, constipation, abdominal distension, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, heartburn, abdominal pain, belching, and taste abnormalities.
