it hurts the stomach for about a half hour after taking. i always take with water and eat my breakfast (bowl of cereal) or dinner, snack when i take the pill. it helps a little.

but, it is only like a half hour.

it escalates anger. and that does not have to be a deal. you may notice you fly off the handle over something small. that may not have been a big deal before taking the drug. once aware, it is very easy to not have an issue.

and dreams....
