"i started taking this medication in conjunction with lamictal.  although it is not recommended, my psychiatrist suggested for the first few days i cut the 50mg tablet in half.  i am glad i did.  after reading everyone&#039;s reviews about the stomach upset and headaches, i decided it might be beneficial.  i took 25mg for about 6 days then upped to 50mg.  i had slight stomach upset and a few mild headaches.  i take it as soon as i wake no later than 8am.  i have seen a huge reduction in my appetite.  i was a binge eater of sweets before i started and at 5&#039;3&#039; weighed in at 150lbs.  in three weeks i have lost 4lbs.  this is the most stable i have been since i can remember."
