I have noticed a lot of drowsiness. Nausea as well as increased headaches. My husband says my speach is very slurred. Does anyone know if this could be caused by this drug? He suggested I take it at night but now that I have read several comments about lack of sleep, I don't think I want to do that either... I've only been on it for a month. Maybe I should get off of it now before it's too late! B ... Show Full Comment

This medicine worked ok as far as controlling my depression but it made me gain about 10 pounds as soon as I started taking it. Not fun. Getting off of it was one of the worst experiences since it felt like my brain was rattling in my head. I wouldn't suggest this medicine if you have depression. Wellbutrin works just as well and doesn't have all the funky side effects.

Was on it for 3 years, worked great for my depression/anxiety, but gained alot of weight. I couldnt stand the "electric shock" feeling if I missed a dose or more. Good for short term depression, I wouldnt recommend it if your a lifer.
