By the way - I am very side effect sensitive, so that even I didn't have side effects can only mean good things.

Maybe you were on too low a dose? The smallest it comes in (at least now) is 2mg so it would have to be split a lot. Being sensitive also, we started at the 2 mg, knowing I could cut it.
At first it did work in calming me down, eventually, but as of last night I had hand tremors, severe confusion (does a red light mean go? Or stop? And which way is traffic flowing?), full on depersonalization, and other things I can't remember now. I won't be trying a lesser dose.
I thought your sentence made perfect sense!
Thanks for the post.
