I've been taking this stuff for 8 days now. My maxillofacial surgeon is making me take it for a sinus pocket after a wisdom tooth extraction. I didn't sleep for three days straight and had horrible anxiety. I was allergic to my pain meds and couldn't take them so had no other medication that this could be caused by. My heart has been racing, and the first few hours after I take it, it is difficult to breathe. I've been ridiculously irritable, and on the fifth night I had thoughts of suicide because of the anxiety. I am groggy, have trouble reading and focusing my vision, and am very dizzy. The surgeon just told me to stay on it and toughen up. I can't concentrate, I can't drive, I feel like I can't function. I am miserable.

I'm with the rest of you on the "up all night thing". I'm going on night 2 of not sleeping. Although, I should mention, the medication started working within about 12 hours. But I think I might die from lack of sleep now!

Since I have taken this medicine I have had elevated blood pressure, dizziness after extended periods of strenuous activity, and a continual groggy detached feeling. I am a young man and have never had any health problems and until I started reading some of the stories about others on this drug I believed there was a major health problem. I have also had trouble sleeping and resting when i do sleep which leads to irritation and the groggy, hazy feeling that I have.
