I had side effects for the first 6 days but then they faded. The only lasting side effect is oddly a bit of a vision impairment, but I'm farsighted and it's just seemed to magnify that like i can't really read for more than like 5 to 10 minutes without a break but I'd take that over major depression any day. I had crazy insomnia the first few days, i slept like 5 hours over two days and it wasn't consecutive, but I wasn't fatigued from it the next days because of the energy it replenished me with. I take the regular sr twice a day which works well for me. I had a slight loss of appetite the first 6 days or so as well, and my vision was very blurry that first week. I started wearing my old glasses again and that helps a lot (eye docs said i didn't need them so i stopped wearing bc of ballroom dancing). I also had gotten addicted to vaping when I'd never gotten addicted to nicotine before even when i had a refillable vape for a little while i just put/gave it away and never thought of it again. But I got hooked on the stronger disposables cause that was my self harm if you will, i was embarrassed about it so the doc suggested this med for both and i took one hit of a friend's on the 4th day and by day 6 I was over it and wasn't even triggered anymore. I know I probably have a very short timeline for the med kicking in and sure effects fading, they say around 2 weeks or a month is normal so I would be prepared to stick it out for that just in case!
