"update: checking in on week 5 at 300mg of generic xl made by par pharmacuticals. 
i can&#039;t say enough positive things about this medicine. i have had practically no bad side effects except a slightly more noticible &#039;ringing&#039; in my ears. it is not bothersome and i only notice it it complete silence. on the plus side is virtually a new outlook on life, absence of any sad or hopeless feelings, reduced anxiety, tons of all day energy, focus, and enthusiasm, increased libido, desired weight loss and a shift in personality. i feel like i did when i was younger and full of hope, plans, and happy to greet the day. my jobs are more fulfilling, relationships improved, confidence restored. people notice! i had no idea i was that depressed. amazing!"
