My energy level drops to zero in less than 1 hour of taking evoxac, stay nauseous which causes me to over eat and the RX helps my sore mouth but the side effects over ride any benefits. I gained 10 lbs. before i realized i was eating to keep from throwing up.

Have taken for more than 6 years. Only could take 1 pill per day because of stomach issues. Worked really well until last few months. I am having severe leg cramps at night and plan to discontinue use.
