Please, please, please do not ask for medical information online. What has worked or not worked for someone else may not give you the same results. Especially when you are dealing with medications that work on your central nervous system. The only person/people you should ask information from are licensed professionals - doctor, therapist, pharmacist. And, of course, get hold of the official prescribing information that would come with the medication - you can find it online at rxchecker.com or your pharmacist.
And remember that listed side effects for any medication are not necessarily caused by the medication. For example, lets say that 100 people tested the medication. Five of those people ended up getting the flu. Now, would they have gotten the flu if they were NOT on the drug? There's a good chance. But, because they have to write down every symptom they have while on the study, the flu ends up becoming a "possible side effect" in 5% of study participants.
I strongly suggest that you take this discussion off-line and with your private physician. For your own privacy and safety.
