"i do not deal with fits of rage anymore nor do i go to extreme lows of sadness and the world is ending. side effects i had were initially insomnia grogginess after taking the medication and a little bit more hungry. i eat a well-balanced diet with lots of vegetables some fruit high protein and i notice having a snack before taking it helps for hunger pains. i make sure to get regular low impact exercise such as walking. i am now able to be a better mother keep my jobs and feel much much much better mentally. give it a try at least a month. it has been 3 weeks and i do not have insomnia at night anymore and have dropped 14 pounds. stay positive don&#039;t let side effects get you down!"
