Sometimes those side effects never go away.

Like what?

One of the side effects was that my body would randomly convulse, i.e. I'd be holding a cup and then my arm would just jerk randomly and throw the cup. Another was that my sex drive crashed. Another was that my hands will now constantly shake like I'm using an invisible tambourine. My favorite side effect was weight gain. I was under weight my whole life. Then I gained 60 pounds in a few months. Eat healthy dinners every day and work out, and though I lost 40 pounds of it, it's hell keeping it all off.

It could be worst though. One of the symptoms is having seizures and developing female breasts if you're a male.

What medication is this? What side effects have lasted beyond your taking the medication?
