Astrid, Thanks for your transparency. I've found it very helpful to research any new medications my Dr. has prescribed for me so that I know what to watch for when I start taking it. It doesn't mean you will experience these side effects because every ones response is different but it's good to know. Also I've realized that many over the counter medications, ie: Tums, cough syrups, etc. can exacerbate, or even cause negative side effects when taking medications for mental illness. You have to be so very careful. Can you elaborate on some of the negative side effects you've experienced? I think I've experienced them all. I'd like to help you navigate this. I've have plenty of experience.
