Advice/Tips Cost
Nov 07, 2009 I started at 100mg. After being so grouchy & moody for months, it was like a "legal high" without the fuzzy head and all the side effects. I had not been that happy and content in years! I loved it. After a couple of months I went up to 150mg. It seemed like my body was getting used to it. The only side effect I had was staying tired all the time. I got to where I couldn't even do my daily activities because I was soo tired and had to nap everyday. Taking it at night helped some, but I was still too tired. I was scared if I switched to another drug I wouldn't do good or go back to how I felt before but a month later and so far so good! monthly

Mar 25, 2009 Just started....Hoping for success. monthly
May 29, 2009 It takes time to get to the right dosage so give each dosage a chance. In my opinion 6 weeks is a good time frame to see if it's for you or not. It took me 50mg to 100mg to 150mg to feeling MUCH better. (taken with Clonezepam & Lorazepam) < $25 monthly
