PROS: it works
CONS: none

I normally get proposed drugs through americantrustpills (seriously, this place sucks) without danger. Unfortunately I use to take lots of it so low expense is crucial for me.

PROS: Controlled voices, delusions etc.
CONS: Couldn't have a thought on this medication.

I was brain dead on this medication. My Dr. told me that's the way it had to be to control my symptoms. Unfortunely I was on it for a number of years before it finally occured to get a new Dr. Goodbye navane.
