I am kind of in the same situation where I haven't seen really any positives or negatives YET but I will stick with it for at least two weeks before really deciding. I have felt a little dizzy/mentally sluggish but not too bad. Also what dosage are you on?
I've heard that some of these meds can take 6 or 8 weeks to get up to full effectiveness. So I would think at least a couple and maybe more would be needed to really evaluate the effectiveness. That's difficult when in great pain.
