I took 20mg 3 times a day after my son was born. The Endo put me on it after the Cushing's test came out negative.

I used it for about 3 months, when he released me back to my internist. (it was for blood pressure control).

She took me off it immediately and put me on Tenormin (atenolol) and I took that for 13 yrs and started to get breathing issues (bronchospasms). I only use 1/2 --25mg tablet before the dentist now. She won't let me have it anymore.

I never had hallucinations, and was really too busy to notice much depression, but looking back on it, I think a low grade depression was there. I had weight gain from it too.

I have the cortisol problem big time. That is why I like the theanine. It cuts that way down.
