Varying dosages. Paranoia/hallucinations. Quit cold turkey and still have no feelings, emotions, or empathy but am calm but really delayed thinking and responses and had to give up on Bachelor's degree. It raises your triglyceride levels and causes weight gain. I wouldn't recommend it to people unless you really need it.

My mother (72) diagnosed Early Alzheimers - waiting for further diagnosis as we believe it is Lewy Body Disease - this drug just about killed her - drooling, could not swallow - zombish - took approx 6 weeks to get out of her system - and get her back to herself - and we believe that the Parkinson symptons she is now displaying could be a direct result of this drug - terrible, terrible drug!
