Hmmm. Curious if it gave you problems before why trying again? If you don’t mind sharing. I take it too and discovered too much makes me manic. Now I’m scared to take it. :(
It gave me the same headaches before and the psych said to keep going and i just couldn’t work with the headaches so i stopped. Now 6 years later trying to get some help and new doc says try again and i think im just back to the same spot.
