"i&#039;ve been on this since last june, at 5 mg once daily. i had a rough time adjusting at first but i felt that it helped so much that i wanted to keep taking it. for me, i felt like the benefits outweighed the side effects. i tried to go off of it last month to see how i felt and that was when i realized how much it helps me! i went back on it in october and i am tolerating it much  better. i can&#039;t imagine my life without it now. it&#039;s a very sophisticated drug!"
