I was on this for migraines a couple of years back per the suggestion of my PCP and it was absolutely one of the worst experiences of my life. I’d honestly never lacked a will to live, but this drug made me feel like it was all pointless. It’s as if every emotion was numbed away from my body. I was having trouble putting thoughts together, eating, and living any semblance of a life. Also food started to taste different which was absolutely bonkers. Stay the hell away from this stuff. For reference I was a young and fit healthy male in my mid-twenties when I was on it. Completely destroyed me.
