> Mellow, thanks for responding. I started it yesterday and am feeling very sleepy. Did you get that side-effect when you started, and if yes, did it decrease after a while?
I don't recall being sleepy. Don't really remember terrible side effects, but I wouldn't really have been aware at that point b/c I was drinking heavily and out of control. Like I said i just remember finally settling down and starting to get stable, hold a job, make healthy decisions. Probably took two months tops.
I did have trouble with maintaining an erection for a few weeks. But that's not a problem anymore. That kind of stuff usually passes anyways.
