How long does it take to actually work? I've only been on it for 5 days, and I feel like a completely different person, in a good way.

I was on 15 mg and it made me really sleepy even when I took it at night, md tapered me down gradually to a theraputic dose for me 5mg. It works wonders, this drug has been amazing for keeping me stable. About 5 days on 5 mg and I am happy as a clam 8)...Maria J.

It worked quick for me but at my dose I started cycling fast and had certain shakes with it i now have a medicine for the ticks and a little lower dose and still cycle but not as fast and to mild degrees. I think it is great stuff.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
