It is not even listed as a potential side effect in textbooks on the subject. For more detailed information you will have to contact the manufacturer through your pharmacist, or your pharmacist may have access to this kind of information source.

Each person is different so to say that if one of your symptoms is not a side effect because it's not listed on the drug's insert is narrow minded. It could be the drug, it may not but don't discount it because a dr. said so. They are only human, they certainly make mistakes all the time.
