First 2 weeks of starting seemz a blur supposed to be non sedating it's increased my paranioa somewhat and mild hallucinations or v strong illusions don't know .And get easily side tracked left washing in machine forget to drink coffee etc..Can take 2 months to kick i read somewhere so i suggest if its ok phyically then stick with it to see if the memory loss goes.
