What are possible side effects of ONYDA XR?

ONYDA XR may cause serious side effects, including:

• Decreased blood pressure and heart rate. ONYDA XR can decrease your blood pressure and heart rate, which can increase your chance of passing out (syncope).

Your healthcare provider should check your heart rate and blood pressure before starting treatment and regularly during treatment with ONYDA XR. See “What should I avoid while taking ONYDA XR?”
• Sleepiness and tiredness that could cause slow reaction times (sedation and somnolence). See “What should I avoid while taking ONYDA XR?”

Suddenly stopping ONYDA XR may also cause withdrawal symptoms including headache, increased heart rate, nausea, flushing or warm feeling lightheadedness, tightness in your chest and nervousness or anxiety. Do not suddenly stop ONYDA XR treatment without first talking to your healthcare provider.
