It was good for me, for some time. I slept better on it than I have slept on any other medication I've ever taken -- and better than on no medication, truth be told. It didn't keep me awake all day, but I didn't mind having an afternoon nap.
I did get headaches at first, but those were weird -- they didn't hurt, it just felt a lot like having a too-tight swimming cap on my head, if that makes sense. And the headaches went away, anyway. (The first day, though, I was sick from the headache, but I was also doing something with chemicals that might have caused that.)
It was great at brightening my mood, though, and I loved it. In the end, after a couple of years, it did start to turn on me. I started getting more depressed, and stopping it seemed to help. That was after several years, though, and it was more than worth it while it still helped.
Good luck with it.
