It is a very powerful drug.
I remember feeling lethargic, confused, extremely dizzy, etc. (couldn't really get out of bed)

Also it is easy to draw a blank when speaking (this is a common side effect) and the weight loss is scary. If you are thin it can be too much.

And you may have tingling in your extremities. My neuro said to drink gatorade throughout the day.

For me, it was one of those drugs that made everything worse, but you never know. Just wanted to share my experience, I hope that you have a better one
