Yes there seems to be several common themes -
-Every person has a unique experience
-Physical and mental side effects that can't be predicted
-Dosages generally increase over time.
My experience is that my doc and I have to switch meds every so often (~15-24 months) to get the same effect. Side effects vary from dizziness and even "visual effects" to depression, and muscle spasms.
