"can&#039;t tolerate stimulants, so only choice was non-stimulant medication.  it does work, and i&#039;ve definitely noticed a difference.  first couple of days i&#039;d get real sick for a couple of hours, pretty nauseated.  but that went away after a while.  for the first two months, i rarely felt hungry, i dropped 15 pounds, but my mouth was always dry, and i was drinking liters upon liters of water every day.  still some problems &quot;downstairs&quot;, if you know what i mean.  makes me pretty sleepy, so i usually take it right before i turn in for the day.  but honestly, even with all the side effects, it works well enough that i do continue to take it."
