At 2 mg I find it somewhat helpful, though I'm starting to run into sleep issues. I'm hoping to go up to 5 mg tomorrow so hopefully I won't share your negative experience. I also like the look of the pills, they look different than anything I've ever taken. Not sure what to call that color - I'm thinking "Sun-dried Turquoise." Can't wait to see what the 5's look like lol.
