this drug is being used for my guadropalegic son. It is crushed and given thru a G-tube because he cannot eat or drink. He has been anxious and unable to breath on many occasions. He does have a trachea but not on a respirator or oxygen anymore. He is also on Buspar and in constant pain. Nothing seems to help, he wants to die. I feel he should be taken off these meds and put on something different. He has Traumatic Brain injury and has had 3 brain surgeries in 6 months, he also has had staff infections and MRSA throughout his body and in his blood. Can anyone help me help my son.

It did worked excellent on my depression for a year at first my past 2 insurances wouldn't cover it the 3rd insurance cover it. For 3 years went through hell got tired of it I went to my doctor asked him to put me on pixel 40mg and is working good. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone unless you need it badly especially for pain if you do take it from start to change dose to withdraw side effects are the same going through hell for 2 to 4 weeks. I am so happy that I am off it. Good luck to you all
