DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICATION! I started having weird panic attacks and crippling anxiety.. I would feel cloudy and my vision become horrible, especially with my night vision. I looked at the reviews and realized other people had similar symptoms, so I stopped taking it about two weeks ago. My anxiety has gone away almost entirely. Please do not take this, just use something else instead.

Loss my sense of taste and smell after taking medicine. It cleared up my nasal passages, but not worth the side effect! Hopefully it will come back. It's been a week. 9/14

I started taking this for an allergy attack that I experienced. Within 5 days I had gained 6 lbs and I never have problems keeping weight off. I was also feeling extremely tired and had very vivid horrible dreams. When I looked up the side effects, as well as other's experiences, I realized this is all related to the medicine. I will never use this again!
