When I went from taking 8 granules to nothing was horrible. So I took 4 ah felt better. Then 4 to none same thing. But decided to live with it. The real bad effects lasted about 2 weeks the vomiting, naseua, dizziness, and vertigo.

I am sorry, but everyone will not experience the same thing you did. That is all I was saying. I do not plan on being on it forever either, but ANY MEDICINE CAN PRODUCE UNWANTED SIDE EFFECTS. If you were on ANY anti-depressant--Paxil, Wellbutrin, etc, etc...you will have some sort of unpleasant side effect or withdrawal.
