The following adverse reactions may occasionally occur: dryness of the mouth, thirst, drowsiness, fatigue, dizziness, heartburn, anorexia, abdominal discomfort and exanthema.

Because of this, people can more easily hide the fact that they suffer from bulimia, and can also potentially start out with bulimia, and then develop to anorexia over time.
