Older antidepressant, caused some weight gain, but is a tried and true intervention that more experienced psychiatrists love to use. I would recommend this med to anyone. Helped me sleep, raised my mood, put color back into my life, helped significantly lower anxiety level.

I had hallucination from this medication, and thoughts of self-harming myself while using this medication.

I've been on this drug for 2 months, and my depression is much less severe. I no longer think of suicide or end up in bed for days paraylsed with depression. I thought I would get lots of side effects from this older anti-dep. The only side thing was some tiredness during the day at the start of the treatment, but that only lasted a few days.

I've taken Sinequan for over 20 years with no ill effects. I suffered from severe panic attacks and muscle aches which affected my life dramatically. I have had a normal life since taking this medication. I only take 25mg. a night. On occasion I try to reduce the dosage or go off it but always come back to the 25mg.It works for me.

This is a great to help you sleep by it made me so angry. I would snap at everyone for the slightest thing. Going bact to taking my Effexor. This pill is not worth being mad all the time. The weight gain was awful too.

I was prescribed this medication after the death of my mother and my divorce. This medication did not help me at all. I am not happy with the excessive weight gain. With all the exercise and dieting the weight will not come off. What a waste taking this medicine

I used to have agorophobia, and not want to leave my "comfort zone", but I am finally free. I use sinequan with xanax.
