I've only been on it for a week so far (20mg daily) but today I start taking 40mg daily. I completely understand how you feel. I'm really hoping it helps as well. I've read a lot of really good things about it. So far I haven't noticed that much (Maybe a small amount of improvement). But I'll see how 40mg works. How much are you taking? Apparently you can go higher then 40mgs daily so if that doesn't work then there's always increasing the dose. If I have any good results I'll share it with ya.

Money is also a huge factor as well... I'm in the same boat as you on that as well. it's crazy how expensive APs can get... I mean really, we have enough problems as it is...

Stay strong! You're not alone.
