I was on it for a very short time and it did not agree with me at all! I have COPD and for the three days I was on it everyday I was getting short of breath where I had to go off. It actually scared me because of the breathlessness and it doesn’t come back right away!!
That’s the whole problem with all of the meds they give us there are so many side effects!

After a while the body gets used to the medication and the doctor needs to adjust the dosage or change the medication. You might be experiencing “tolerance withdrawal “ symptoms.

Personal experience unfortunately.
Ive been on it for years and i take 150 mg 3x day. Ive gained 40 lbs. It messes w body temperature. Others have said it affects memory and mine is terrible so thats very possible.
