BurdenNot at all hard to take
Dosage:
300 mg/24 hours
Daily
Advice & Tips:
Medication was very good and I took it for many years. I just wanted to see if I could manage my mood and energy level without taking prescribed medication. I weaned myself off the drug by taking it every other day and then three times a week then twice a week until I stopped completely. No adverse effects. Constipation no longer a problem.
