The attacks do not occur in everyone who takes the medication. When they do occur, however, they occur suddenly, and without warning. If you are, for example, driving a car, it could be a disaster. Please ask your doctor about this problem. Best, Bob ********************************************** Robert A. Fink, M. D., F.A.C.S., P.
