worked beautifully for a few months. no side effects. stopped working too soonl

Had to play with the dosage a little but it levels out my moods without leaving me a zombie. Without it I cry over spilling water stepping on dandelions etc. Very emotional if not on meds. No side effects that I can tell.

Well it puts a stream of sunshine in a place where there is none so.. works good for me! That and regular weekly therapy.
