> Thanks for your opinion.I didn't even make it through my starter pack due to side effects. I started at 5mg 2X/day and felt like I had
a very bad flu - terrible headache and nausea. I missed a day's dose and was feeling better, then when I took
my next dose, I felt sick within 30 min. I was told it works in about 30% of people and has a very
low side-effect profile. I wasn't able to tough it out to get past the initial side effects.
I'm taking remeron now and that helps greatly with the tightness in my chest and breathing difficulties.
