Hello, Emispi! How are you?

This medication has successfully helped many people, but the only way to see if it will work for you is by taking it a couple more weeks to find out.

The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and dry mouth.

Has there been any improvement, yet?
