How bad are everyone else’s side effects? I currently take a 30mgXR in the morning and 10mgIR part way through the day. I can get some facial tics and other OCD like symptoms. They aren’t bad enough to lower my dose or make other changes at this point. Just wondering what others are experiencing and if anyone has any tips or tricks to dealing with stuff like that.

I’m on 5mg ER and had minor side effects. Initially I couldn’t get a boner, but it also made me insanely horny almost in a deviant way. Masturbated like 4-5 a day in the first few weeks. That all went away thankfully. Some teeth grinding and dry skin stuff, that all seems to be getting better but those side effects lasted a lot longer, probably about a year or two. Haven’t upped my milligrams, still works three years later
