The good effects are my anxiety and other symtoms I mentioned in my orignal thread go away. Plus, I was having great energy and actually woke in the morning feeling like I had slepted. It was wonderful not having my brain working in overdrive all the time. Now, I am back to feeling tired and lethargic.
