Comment:
I just started the medicine a week ago and I must say I'm happy so far with the results I have more energy and I'm starting to feel better over all. Hopefully it continues to work. I also want to add that this is my second time trying this the first time didn't work but after having the dosage changed its made a huge difference.

You need to have a blood test at least once a year! If your still having symptoms of being lethargic see your doctor! Be insistent and be your own advocate! Find a new doctor if you have to. Don't suffer if you don't have to! Every time
