" Tried it for 3-4 days, felt like I was drunk all the time. Told the doctor it wasn't the med for me. It did nothing for my anxiety, good or bad. I just did not like feeling like I had a couple of drinks in me all the time.

Its nickname is Dopamax. "

" Haven't tried it. But different meds work for some and not others. I found that the meds that I have tried take at least 4 weeks to take effect and even then I needed to stay in contact with my Dr. so that we could figure out the right dose (kind of a hit and miss type of thing) Good luck with finding something that works for you :) "
