"took xr but ir is a little heavy for me. now i split my meds in half 5mg 2-3 times a day. duration seems better than xr. i take lamictal as well. ir helps me get more done but i don&#039;t feel personally that the good outweigh the bad. i have reached a norm. weight. i eat healthier i look healthier. and i take better care of my body. at first - dry skin slightly, hyper focused (my body did not know how to react) i smelt awful at first! haha i sweat it out ew! i can&#039;t find this side effect anywhere. it can take a toll if you don&#039;t take care of your body. stay healthy."
