"i was prescribed this drug for major depression and c-ptsd. i only took it for one week, 5mg. it was awful. i was exhausted all of the time, had trouble falling asleep and my sleep was disturbed by very vivid and bizarre dreams. i woke up every morning shaking, dizzy and disoriented. during the day my legs hurt so bad it made walking difficult. it made me so hungry, craving carbs, i gained 9lbs of belly fat in one week! it left me with zero motivation and unable to feel any joy, excitement, pleasure. i felt detached, empty, i felt dead. i stopped taking it and while i&#039;m still struggling with depression i do feel like me again, i feel alive and have lost all of the weight gained while taking it."
