"i started on this medicine in 2004. it has been a roller-coaster ride. the first, and most immediate thing was i stopped smoking, and discontinued drinking anything carbonated. i rapidly lost about 30lbs, my nails became so thin i could not hold paper. i started taking supplements as the weight loss, caused nutrition loss. tingling in hands and feet still persist, especially when i am cold. around 2007 i entered into a psychotic break, there are other contributing factors here, so my doctor took down the dose from 200mg to 75mg where i am still at today. i have regained some weight, but that is due to another medicine that i now take with this."
