as we always say YMMV
I read all the advertising stuff about Lex (well before I discovered this great forum).
So from a placebo effect point of view, I was primed and ready to feel great.
First Lex pill (10 mg) was all I could take, it felt like overwhelming flu symptoms (but it WAS NOT flu).
Could barely function physically.
doing much better on Prozac now with only S/E jitteriness managed with Xanax XR.
Find a pdoc who will cooperate and become your own human drug trial. Good luck!
