Hi.

I never checked it, but I don't remember having a problem with dizziness.

> No wonder mental health is so tricky to treat when you have drugs that will have the complete opposite reaction between people.It almost relieves us of the burden of having to know anything technical. Trial-and-error is still the modus operendi in psychiatry. I do think that, through knowledge and experience, one can produce educated guesses that validly help choose drugs to trial in an order of precedence. The Black Box is gradually becoming dimly lit inside.
