Is it just once and then you're fine? Or is it repeated over and over? There are two kinds of side effects from these meds, start up which go away with time and those that stick around. Your experience won't be the same as your mother's. You're at a very low dose, so you're just getting started on it to ease you into it. But if it does cause a lot of discomfort, there are other meds out there to try, assuming your problem is significant enough to require medication in the first place.
