Hi, Dennison! Well, I agree completely with you that the Cylert is affective -- with it (past three years 1-2 tabs/day). It's enabled me to stay awake 16 hours a day without a nap. However, from the beginning it's caused me to have real alcohol cravings (otherwise, I feel so irritable I feel like I could rip out of my body). Yes, I've been indulging those. Now I have a nice little wine habit (and have gained 25 pounds). My fault, I know, I know. The real reason I stopped it is that I've experienced profuse sweating for the past six months (like I'll blow dry my hair and it's dripping wet 10 minutes later). Believe it or not, that symptom has completely STOPPED since I decided to stop the Cylert on my own. I know I shouldn't do this (tried taking 1/2 tab -- felt like I took nothing - same affect as now). I had a friend that took Wellbutrin as an anti-smoking aid and I found it very affective, like you said.
Thanks so much for your time and advice, I can't tell you how great it feels to know that this type of board is out there!
Happy (you like that?)
