Just wanted to add, this was so effective for my mood, I wish it didn't have such strong other effects on me which ultimately more than negated the benefits. Tragic. If it works for you- wow, I am envious.
> This drug can be a real effective and ultra powerful mood booster, in my opinion. But it gave me mild halllucinations that didn't go away, like wavy floor, phantom smells, and feeling around but not in my body. (Weird feeling for an athelete like me...) All I took was 2.5 1x per day and that was a knock out. Talking of 10-20 mg floors me. Sounds like a great way to become a fat sleeping zombie! All I wanted to do on my 2.5 was voraciously eat and sleep. I felt too "heavy" to walk or excercise or do anything esle. I gained a lot of weight very very fast, and later read that the drug is linked with diabetes development. It actually adjusts something with one's glucose processing and metabolism!!! I think there is even a class-action lawsuit about this, but I'm not sure what happened there. So, I'd treat this drug with care, and if at all possible, stay clear from a long term use-unless you are a lucky person who can tolerate it. But even then I think you'd do good to keep an eye on your blood sugar.
