Tasmar has let me down. My first and most serious problem was its causing serious sleep disorder. I didn't sleep for the first 3 nights or days. 2nd.Anorexia. had no desire to eat and consequently ate very little. 3rd. Hypotention. (SUSPECTED EVERYONE WAS TALKING ABOUT ME) Heard voices. Anxiety. About things that might happen. Excessively hyper activity would go until exhausted. 100 mg seamed too strong. Only 2 doses offered ( 200). Other side effects many.......... [log in to unmask]
