    This is truly a miracle drug. It can cause some constipation and bloating but if you adjust your diet you can control that.

I am on a very low dosage so I would rather accept the risks than suffer the consequences by not taking it.

I decided to try and had to sign a paper saying I understood all about the drug and side effects. He prescribed the lowest dose and I have been on it for about 4 years and it works like a miracle. I have gotten my life back and can leave the ... Show Full Comment
