For me, gave me a really dry mouth and I lost my appetite. Lost some weight on it. And trying to sleep was a pain... kept jolting awake.
But it did lift my mood, so the side effect were worth pushing through.

I take it in the morning although that's partly because I take it in combination with other things. I find it pretty helpful but it does give me heartburn if I don't have some food alongside it.

I take it each morning. No side effects I’ve noticed and it’s been a literal life saver for me. So so much less anxious. Mood much better. No feeling overwhelmed or like I just can’t face doing anything. Good luck with it OP.

It made me lose my appetite significantly after three/four days, so perhaps have some decent and nutritious food and drink to hand. Some people seem to gain weight on it, but weight loss seems to be more common.

Don't take it on an empty stomach if you can help it, it's pretty 'burpy'. Also be prepared to feel a bit anxious in the first few days.
