      This was the most horrifying drug ive ever taken. I took one at night and work up in the morning with a horrible migrane and when i tried to get out of my bed a fell too the floor. I couldnt work and was really dizzy. Made me horribly sick and i threw up as soon as i managed to get up the stairs. And i only took ONE. and it was the smallest dose.
