Hi! I'm cyclical, with headaches recurring every two years. The cycle normally lasts six weeks, but this year it was longer, closer to three months. I started taking 40mg per day, and went up to 80 per day after a week. I stayed with 80 for 2 months, and then tapered off for a month. Yes, I think I had all the nasty side effects, even personality change, mood swings, weight gain, heavy perspiring, bloating. I had no headaches, though! However, the side effects were so bad, that next time I think I'll try something different!
