Possibly the side effects will not even be seen. Wouldn't that be good!! Sometimes, depending on our body it
can take some time for the med to make itself truly known. I know with my brain anyway, it is very sceptical
as to what gets put in there. Once we are on meds for such a long time they seem to take over and get bossy.
Mine are real bossy and do not let any new med in or even a slight change without giving it the full go over
first. Almost as if they own your brain. Over the Counter drugs are really bad in my case. Boy it sure
don't like them.
Sure hope this works out for your son. What works for him may be super bad for me. Just the way out body
works. No two the same.
Take note of any specially different changes (good or bad) and write them down in a diary just so you can have
to show the doctor if need be.
Best of luck and keep smiling

It seems to have alot of poor side effects possible, but it's working really
well so far....I guess you have to chosse the lesser of two evils.

I have never seen it either, but that doesn't mean much :) It must be a really
new one or you will notice now
that other countries are giving different names for drugs, as well as could be
the name on a different
pharmacy maker too, along with either brand or generic.
