I began having terrible side effects. Low mood, no energy, depression finally kicked in at 6 weeks. Riddled with anxiety. If you suffer from any slight mental illness or have family history I would not take this. It made me feel crazy. Within 2 days of being off of 100 mg dose all the side effects were 75% gone.

Terrible drug! Also you lose your appetite, nothing sounds appetizing. Still have migraines almost every day.

I'm experiencing a major flareup of Rheumatoid Arthritis that I suspect may be triggered by this medication. I also have really bad heartburn a yeast infection and can sleep all day. I was on Topamax years ago, so I expected the brain fog, pins and needles in my extremities, and change in appetite. I wasn't prepared for all the other things. On a happy note, the headaches are gone. Or at least I can't remember them!

seemed to help at first, went from 25, to 50 to 100mg. At 100mg I thought I was useless, just lying in bed, no energy. Went to 50, now on 25. I had all along the tingling in the fingers and feet. I'm stopping completely at this point, I now have bone pain, tingling fingers and feet, frequent urination, back pain, and signs of kidney stones. These are considered serious side effects!
