"i do like this medicine because it helps me to control my nervousness and instant reactions to stimuli much better than without it. i almost can pretend i&#039;m normal.  and because of its long shelf-life, if i want to reduce my dose because it can make me feel moody and lethargic after continuously taking it for a while...there&#039;s no side effects other than feeling better. its easy to manage my own mood by upping or lowering my intake on the same prescription. i may go a week without it and feel fine, but when i start to get heart palpitations and my mind blanks out when i&#039;m confronted, i begin to take it again. that way it helps me to stabilize but i&#039;m not relying on it all the time."
