> Thanks.I'm glad it works for you. It sends me into hypomania, which I love since my overwhelming problem has been lethargy and apathy and anhedonia. But Tue side effects-nausea, anxiety and headache are so bad I could only take it a week or two at a time. Then when I'd stop it, a horrible crash. I repeated that cycle for years-the only time I got anything done was while on it. I told my pdoc finally to just take me off it.
