> What side effects were so bad? Won't they pass?
Nausea, exhaustion, disorientation (putting applesauce in my daughter's milk cup, ice cream in the refrigerator, etc.), flu-like symptoms, foggy-head. Got worse each day I took it (I only lasted four days). By the last day I was so sick I could barely get throught the day. Caffeine and dexedrine couldn't lift me out of the fog or fatigue.
These symptoms are similar to how I felt on Effexor, and those never passed. I am not the average patient on these meds, and after all these years I know when something will pass and when something won't. Usually when I have bad side effects it helps to start out VERY low and then work up slowly. I am hoping this pellet strategy will work for me.
Thanks for your concern.
