People: If you're thinking of trying this, if your dr. wants you to try it - and even if he or she is a great dr., don't do it. I got myself off, I'm 3-4 days clean from it - I am having a hard time with the physical side effects, including typing this. So I am not going to say much more here. I can't imagine anyone having success with this drug. It sneaks up on it, the changes to your personality are subtle. Then before you know it, you have no one left in your life and you can't imagine what happened - nor do you care. I would have ended it, or at least I thought I would - except I wouldn't leave my dog. I'm glad to see from other posts that there is an end to the hellish aches, pains, etc. I've got some making up to do - starting with my dog who just patiently waited, maybe wondering what happened to me but refusing to leave my side. Good luck people. But if you're contemplating starting this drug, for Heaven's sake, don't do it. You can lose your whole life, everything, because this drug takes a hold of you. Repeat: it's subtle, you won't see it coming. God bless.
