Comment:
I take 4 of the 5MCG tablets a day (all at the same time). I didn't think they worked at all until I stopped taking them for a month. Mood swings, headaches, and all the problems I had forgotten I had return. I have not had any dizzyness or reaction to this drug.

I have palpitations from using it and my BP goes way higher than usual. I feel I can't get a full breath of air.
