"i was prescribed 10 mg a day for anxiety/panic attacks. i&#039;d never taken any sort of ssri before. i took one pill and it scared me, i threw up several hours later and had the worst panic attack of my life. but i don&#039;t know if that was me, or the pill. so two weeks later, i chopped it in half and have taken 5mg everyday for the past 6 months. it has completely turned down the volume of anxiety and paranoia. i may never be able to go off of it. i have not had weight gain, anorgasmia, or decreased sex drive. i love it. i can live my life, it has taken that fog surrounding everything away. if you are super sensitive to medications like me, i encourage you to start with the lowest dose possible."
