I'm on it now. Taken it two other times also. First time was for migraines. Was on a low dose then. Had no side effects other than weight loss which was good for me as I was overweight. Did help prevent my migraines from being so often. Next time they tried it as a mood stabilizer but I moved out of state not long, and lost weight within those two months. No other side effects.
Am currently back on it for moods. Started Dec 16 at 100mg twice a day, no side effects, no improvements and no weight loss either. Dosage increased to 200mg twice a day last friday. We'll see if it works after awhile or time to try something else.. Still works for my migraines though. So I'd be scared to go off of it.
I have a pretty good tolerance for medications though. Don't usually experience side effects like most people. Never experienced tingly hands, feet, or memory problems. Lucky not to. Awesome med for migraines. Only thing to ever help. From 20+ migraines a month to maybe 5.
