I get that people on here hate me too, I'm just so sure they are being polite and putting up with me.

As for the side effects, with almost every med I've been on somewhere I the back of my mind I think something horrible is going to happen...usually it wears off. The only med that was stopped for health reasons was depakote and one time when I was on two meds that were not supposed to be combined. The average "get used to it" time was 3-4 weeks.
