I'm on day 16 and still feel like crap. I still have the shakes, my legs and body hurt, tremers, muscle twitches. I have also lost about 4lbs in this time, but I think the diarrhea has helped with that. I don't feel like eating still. I'm very busy with my job and all I want to do is lay in bed but can't. The last 2 days I have been waking up at 3am and can't go back to sleep. I have just about every side effects that is listed. I'm so ready to stop taking this stuff.

    I took it for at 20mg for 6 wks an was so sick I couldnt take it anymore. Diaherra,anorexia,liver pain, upper back pain,severe anxiety, severe depression. I was thinkin of hurting myself on the 5th wk. Iv never thought that way. Just low mood an anxiety, not suicidal!! Flu like symptoms. I said screw it. I felt better without it! So stopped gradually but still had brain zaps an headaches an dizzy for couple wks. Sometimes meds dont agree with you. If you feel like you want to hurt yourself stop them an call Dr! There are other meds out there! Goodluck
