By itself it didn't cause me any other problems. I also have to augment it with Zyprexa and Wellbutrin. Thses two help with obsessive thoughts and giving me a little more energy.

Thank you for your input!
I have a question: When you say that "sedation" is a side effect, do you mean, "Oh, I feel strangely euphoric, I am so sedate," or "Oh, I am sedated, I'm going to sleep now..."
Please clarify. Being sleepy, groggy and fatigued is the last thing I need! Hope that's not what you mean...
Thanks!
