this medicine is "ok" but i dont believe its helping me as much as it should be and im at 20ml a day. been taking this drug for about 5 months now. I sometimes get a twitching in my eye.. i sometimes dont sleep at all and about a month ago i had a really bad panic attack and afterward i broke down and cryed.. i never cryed like that in my life.. thinking of switching to something different.
