Within 2-3 weeks i began experiencing terrible side effects, heart palps, terrible insomnia, anxiety, foot cramps, dry eyes and mouth, no appetite, and the lost goes on! i discontinued the medicine about 4.5 -5 weeks ago and a lot of the side effects have subsided except the sleep issue. i feel very wired and not tired at all despite not getting any sleep. has anyone had this experience!
