I began suffering from depression and anxiety during college, and it affected my ability to concentrate, sometimes even to get out of bed in the morning. So before I decided to pursue my graduate degree, I knew that I would have to do something. I talked to the doctor and she put me on a 10mg dose (which didn't do much, but allowed me to see if I could tolerate the medication and ease into taking an antidepressant). After a couple weeks we stepped it up to the 20mg dose, and I wish that I had started this medication years ago! The dose is low enough that I've recognized no side effects other than some trouble falling asleep during the first few weeks that I took the medication. I sleep fine now, and all the problems with anxiety and depression are so much better. I have to take it with food, though, or I get a bit of reflux.

This drug has literally saved my life. (and the lives of my family). I was down on myself and treated others badly. I had anger issues and was very unhappy and I didn't know why. This drug has made my mood swings go away and I feel more in control. I am now a very happy person and can deal with everyday life and the challenges it brings. I have a son with ADHD and I am now more patient with him. I don't feel like "killing" everyone around me. I can juggle work and family responsiblities alot better without breaking down emotionally. Thank you!

I've been on this for almost 2 years. Started out at 20mg then increased to 40,then 60 then 80mg. I'm still depressed, angry, can't sleep. This drug is useless.

This is the second time I've been put on this medication for depression. The first time it really pulled me out of it, and I was quite bad off. This time, I can tell a definite difference in my mood, but still have days or moments of depression. It takes about 6 weeks to really kick in. I've been on it for five this time, so I'm hoping it will continue to improve. I've had no side effects from usi ... Show Full Comment
