I just got taken off of it about 2 weeks ago. It worked really well for awhile but like every other med, it stopped working after awhile. I had been on it since october. I didn't have any side effects at all. I'm thinking your dazed feeling is something that will go away if it hasn't already. Just make sure you know what meds are safe to take with it, some can be dangerous. I picked up a list from the pharmacy and also researched online. Good luck!!!
