Effective, but kept me flushed and tired. Could not sleep at night. Woke up every two to three hours. Have to work so need my rest. Anxious and easily irritated. Job is physical so I cannot work well. No stomach upset and no bad taste in mouth but severe headaches and I never get them normally. Am going to change to something else.

Even with food, it literally tasted as if I had I chewed the pill up instead of swallowing even hours after taking it! It lingered FOREVER!!! In addition, I also experienced strange dreams and great difficulty sleeping. Overall, I would have to say that if you're feeling
