I took one 25 mg pill and sufferd a stroke on July 2nd 2004. I know it caused the stroke, but I also can not prove it. I have spent the last 4 years attempting to regain what I can. I am still very dizzy and my vision is quite distorted. I am unable to work and it has completely turned my life upside down. I wish there was somethin I could do to have this terrible med taken off the market. Please feel free to email me a dlhepburn@sbcglobal.net
It seems we are not alone....
