It takes awhile to work out the dosage, but it works well once through that trial/error period. Also, some have better luck with the name brand vs generic, and vise-versa. Doublecheck when picking up your script refills so you're aware what type you're on. They switched on my SIL and her dosage had to be adjusted because it seemed the generic barely worked for her. Unfortunately her insurance company stopped covering the brand name.

Wishing and praying for the best for you!
