Comment:
I originally started taking this for the anxiety part of my depression. Worked great, and greatly eased my symptoms. However, my sex drive went to a stand-still. That was the only side-effect that I got from the drug. I am no longer on it, and it was an easy drug to wean off of.

Comment:
It seemed to work, but I also occasionaly had thoughts of suicide. I would never do it, but it ocaasionally crossed my mind in my thoughts. I don't know if this was from the drug itself or because I was in a deep depression from my current divorce. It's hard to say.
