I was on this for about two weeks a couple years ago before I threw them in the trash. Made me feel completely horrible, sluggish thought and delayed physical reactions. One of the worst things I've ever put in my body.

I do not have Autism or Aspergers or a sensory integration disorder, but have had experience with this medication. When taking this medication, I had sensitivity to light and sound. Everything sounded really loud when I took the medicine. A simple closing of a door sounded like a door slamming. Taking a shower was uncomfortable as well.


I also had difficulty moving and stiffness, increased nervousness, and Insomnia as a result of this medicine and lack of appetite. It also caused me to drool as well. To take care of the side effects, they gave me a high dose of cogentient which did the exact opposite on my senses where everything was extremely quiet etc.

I hope that doctors can take a second look into this medicine before they give it to people!
