Hello, Suzi! How are you?

What types of problems are you having with it? The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, mood swings and weight changes.

After 7 days on such a low dose, you can most likely just stop it, but it would be best to check with your doctor, because stopping abruptly could create the risk of seizures.

Is there anything else I can help with?

Thank you for your reply; i can do it over a few days.
To answer your question, just feel kinda "strange" at times, you know?
Then again, hate to give up too early.
All the negative reviews are scary to me.
