"effective for manic anxiety in my case.started well-but 12 months in:put on 3 stone in weight/from size 12 to 18/developed large pot belly associated with this drug &amp; look 6 months pregnant/chronic flatulence/exhausted after a drugged 12 hour sleep each night so cannot work/really bad memory loss/no libido whatsoever/the general slothness of not having the energy or impetus to do anything. the hunger this drug creates is insatiable: a sudden hollow pit in your stomach that needs to be filled instantly-i have never experienced anything like it, even throughout pregnancy. i you&#039;re ok living life not giving a damn about anything, this is for you,it does spin you out to nothingness. if you want a recovery-refuse this drug &amp; seek an alternative"
