Since I have been on this I have had uncontrolable sweating. Cold sweats all day and at night I have a hard time sleeping or getting comfortale because of the sweats. I can be doing nothing and I break out into a major sweat then I get cold.

I have been taking this drug for three weeks. I can't say that it is or isn't working for me because it has only been three weeks. I have the same appetite, same energy, and the same mental attitude.

I have been on this drug for about 45 days. I have noticed a constant, very bitter taste in my mouth. It becomes more pronouced when I eat or drink. I have also noticed an increase in tearing.

I have still continued being fatigued, cold, and many mood swings. My blood pressure has been high since using this medication and was just advised by my doctor to discontinue using this medication. I have only been on it for one and a half months and already seeing problems. My days very from being on a 'high' to being very 'low.' my high days go from three am when I wake up til nine at night when I go to sleep. My low days i have to encourage myself to get out of bed to go to work, and then they drag on til three pm at the latest. At that time I am so exhausted and wore out i dont even have the ambition to even shower before retiring to my bed. I also have Restless Leg Syndome and on my low days I have a lot of problems with my restless leg. This medication was very hard to work into my busy schedule also. I was taking it in the very morning when i woke up and could not eat until six am on my first break. Cutting dairy out of my morning breakfast was a big issue for me. Overall I am pretty unsatisfied with this drug and hope to start using a new one within the next month or so. Read More Read Less
