This stuff is the best for me! I take low doses, and it always does the trick. However, a couple things for me.. 1.

This stuff is the best for me! I take low doses, and it always does the trick. However, a couple things for me.. 1. I only gave it 4 stars in Ease of Use because you must always start off on a low dose and work your way up to avoid dangerous skin reactions. I had itching when I first started on this med, but kept the dose low, and it went away. However, you do need to be careful when stopping and starting again. NEVER restart this medication at a previous full dose. In terms of satisfaction, I only gave four stars because, while side effects for me are mostly minimal, longer durations of time spent on this med at higher doses (100mg a day) caused minor speech issues. It was harder to form words with my mouth, and more difficult to transfer thoughts to speech. However, if I take breaks periodically, and keep the dose at or below 50 mg's a day, this med works absolute wonders. Makes my depression completely subside within days. I can't imagine taking anything else. Also, it turns out I have a very bad case of inattentive ADD rather than mild bipolar, and it still works great. Won't take anything else for my depression.

I took 25mg daily for a week. I think I was allergic. No sleep at all for five days. I had a headache that would not go away. I had body aches. Like the flu without fever. Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea. Chills. Stomach pain. I developed 52 cherry angiomas in one week. I lost 11 pounds. Stopped med at one week

I sleep just fine, I started at 25 mg and slowly went up to 100 mg currently. I'm tired and sleep great.no rash, no unbearable side effects.
