I MIGHT have. And it's a very strong possibility, but no one would say for sure. After taking it for the first time I went to the ER with some funky vision problem. I had trouble focusing on things. And I felt strange.

I get migraines and CH so the docs were reluctant to blame the med entirely because it could have been part of a migraine (never happened to me before) or it could have been the med.Then they told me not to take frova anymore.

Be well and PF,

I've taken Frova ever since my CH diagnosis. It's the only prescription med I've ever taken for CH other than Prednisone.

It worked fine for me. I had no side effects.

I'm currently taking the Kudzu.....haven't taken a Frova since January of '05.

Is there a specific reason you asked about side effects? If you feel you are having a problem....call your doc. Not all meds work the same for everyone...and I'm sure that some folks might have a reaction when others wouldn't.

Good luck..

yeah, hubby Andy has been on them for a few months now, but they have been giving him stomach problems ,and also don't seem to be helping much with his fibro symptoms!!

So we just wondered if any one else has encountered any problems while taking them

he has stopped taking them now, and things seem to be settling down!!!
