| 5 | nerve pain,bipolar, | This medication is a life saver, but the withdrawals are unbearable!!! Make sure that you don't run out of it. | It is a great drug, the only side effects that I had in the beginning was that they made me feel sleepy.now that I'm used to them I don't get that anyone. It's seems that they now give me some energy they also can increase your appetite and that will dissipate in time. | F | 57 | 4 years 4 a day | 5/21/2016 | 5 | Bipolar | Loss of sex drive.
