I used it about 12 years ago and it was torture. I suffered every non-life-threatening side effect indicated on the label and it was not until the last one was crossed off the box label did I realize that it had worked. I forget how long I was on it..but in the end it was worth the trouble. If you don't want to continue it make sure you talk to your doctor and find out if you can stop cold turkey or have to cut back in stages. It is a nasty drug and now with all the health scares out there I can't help but wonder what else it does that you don't see........
Good luck.
