  • "no one knows how it works"....

    WTF am i doing taking this shit

  • STAY CLEAR OF THIS SHIT.

    My former doctor/hack put me on 400 mg of this crap and told me it could really help. Well, it did nothing, and withdrawal from this is a living nightmare. One of my side effects is that I am incredibly tired but can't sleep. That's the definition of hell. Another is that my short term memory is terrible and I struggle to find words. I'm having trouble just typing this out. I'm not sure how you're supposed to maintain a job of any type while withdrawing.

  • @80z90zhouzemuzicgrl How many other meds are you on? I only take Lamictal (200 mg a day) and I have actually lost weight because I am more active now. I'm sorry to hear you have gained on it, but it may be your other meds?

  • @illkeepdreamingg yes ive gained 100 pounds

  • the stupid doctor told me well why change the meds if its helping u well sir becuase ive gained 100 pounds on it and hes says well see a nutritionists even when i told him the person who prescribed them to me told me that not to worry its only a little bit of weight gain yea u stupid idiot im fat thanks to u im working on getting it changed

  • @sixstoriesfall it does work but the weight gain is horrible i am fat and i use to weigh 130llb now im at 200

  • @o0QuAdSh0t0o This pill saved my life and the life of many others. You saying don't take it is irresponsible. What works for one person may not work for another.

  • @80z90zhouzemuzicgrl I bet you are on other meds that made you gain. I've lost weight on this.

  • @illkeepdreamingg It never made me gain, it's an amazing drug.

  • LOOOVE this drug

  • @kristmundur92 So what does she mean when she says how "it" works? I don't understand.

  • No one KNOWS how it works? Count me out.
