Comment:
I did not get much sleep while on this medicine. The insomnia side effect is horrendous. Even with adding Ambien to the mix, I still would watch the sun rise. Also, the depersonalization side effect is pretty bad. I just didn't care about anything, and my passion for art was completely gone.
I won't ever take this medicine again.
