Advice & Tips
This medication did nothing at a lower dose and so the doc told me to take more and suddenly I was wide awake and very hyper for almost two days. It was awful. It also made me feel shaky and gave me dry mouth.

Advice & Tips
I began having convulsions a week after taking. I asked doctors if I should stop taking it they said no. I was in the ER 4 times in 4 months. One night in the Ambulance after a Neuro toxicity reaction to the medication, I almost lost consciousness. I stopped taking it immediately. The symptoms ceased but I am seeing a Neurologist now to treat damage to my brains cognitive functioning.
