The side effects of this drug were horrible. I was in a state of confusion, I was mad and upset with everyone in the house, and I was extremely paranoid!

While pregnant I found it very hard to eat due to being nauseated, so my doctor prescribed me this drug. At first I hated it, because I combined it with vicodin (due to galstones) but once I started using this drug by itself, It relieved my nausea and I felt 100% great. I love this stuff!
