God where to start. All I can say is Run as fast as you can from this drug. Being on the drug may be a blessing, but to ever get off the drug, it won't happen. My husband was on it for 2 years, and now his doctor decides to take him off of it, and its impossible. The first day off of it you could see the change in his attitude. But by the 5th day, it was pure hell. It wasn't getting better, the side effects were getting worse. He would have the tremors, the anxiety, the nervousness, the irritablity. You name any one of the side effects they say is possible and it was happening to him. Finally by the 6th day, I called the doctor and got him back on the drug. Now after looking into the drug I am seeing all the terrible things it can do to a person. OH MY GOD, is all I can say. What I thought was good for him, turned out to be the start of a life of hell for us. Now all we can think of where is the future for him. Is this something he will have to be on forever, and if so, what will that do to him. And if he ever does get off the drug, what will become of him. ALl I can say to you the perspective client of this drug, please for all the sanity in the world, don't try. Its not worth the posibility of the side effects. PLEASE DONT.
