Thank you for asking at Ehealth forum!

I read your question and I understand your concern.
Common acute side effects are sedation,
dry mouth and restlessness. Long term side effects are dementia and cognitive decline.
I hope it helps. Stay in touch with your healthcare provider for further guidance as our answers are just for education and counselling purposes and cannot be an alternative to actual visit to a doctor.
Take care
