Comment:
THE SIDE EFFECTS OF THIS MEDICATION WERE TOO MUCH FOR ME TO HANDLE. CONSTANT HEADACHE, INSOMNIA, EARS RINGING, ANXIETY, UPSET STOMACH, LOSS OF APPETITE, DECREASE IN FOOD TASTE, DIZZINESS, FEEELING DISCONNECTED, LETHARGIC, DIARRHEA. PERSONALLY, I WOULD RATHER DEAL WITH BEING SICK THAN TAKE THIS STUFF AGAIN.
