Kinda hard to remember what I didn't like about it except for the fact that while I was on it I distinctly remember almost never liking the feeling, but when I was off it, when I missed a dose or the prescription didn't go through or something, I was extremely irritable and anxious and sensitive, like several times what I normally am even off the meds, and it got overwhelming when my precriptions got increasingly less reliable. Plus, for some people, like me, when you're off lex for a long time you get what's called "brain zaps" until the withdrawal period subsides, and that feels like someone switching a Taser to half power and just *bzzt* on the base of your skull every time you make a rapid eye movement, or at least that's what I think the trigger was for me, and that happened maybe 3 to 4 times between every blink. So at the time driving was, in hindsight, extremely dangerous and I probably shouldn't have done it.
