> I tried it several times for about a week or two at a time. Probably 3 -4 trials. I had similar response. The first few days woke up with energy and less depressed and more socially outgoing. Within a few days I would get completely exhausted in the mid afternoon and feel like I was going to nod off any minute. Eventually after a weeke or two I would feel very weird kind of like out of body/dissassociation type feelings and feel physically shaky and it seemed to really aggravate my anxiety so I got off it everytime. This could have been a herx like effect or maybe I was getting too much endorphins or dopamine.

> But I agree with the above posters that it is a very powerful drug and has the potential to help some folks. It just was not a good drug for myself.My experience closely parallels yours, except my super-ultra-sensitivity to meds caused me to have to stop it within 3 days. After the beautiful morning and afternoon of the first day, it all started to go downhill rather quickly. I started getting bouts of depression, anxiety, and irritability.
Disappointing, but not the first drug I've had that type of experience with.
