I've been taking Saridon for my headaches about once or twice a month and I'm wondering if that's safe to continue. Could you give me some advice on this?

Saridon can be used occasionally for headaches, but it's important not to rely on it frequently. Using it once or twice a month is generally considered safe, but if headaches persist, it's a good idea to consult a doctor for a more tailored treatment plan.

I'm really concerned because my hands seem to shake a lot, especially when I raise them or even when I'm just trying to drink some water. Could this be a sign of weakness or is there something else going on? What should I do about it?
