As I was saying - I think it's more of a "surface" treatment - meaning it helps really well but then wears off like a stimulant. However, after 3 years of being on it - I still have not grown tolerant to its effects. However, if I were ever to go off of it- it surely would be emotionally painful (and physically if not done very very slowly).
