"was prescribed this medication on friday, august 28th of this year.  so it has only been 5 days since i first started taking it .  i have never been on any anti-depressant medication before.  didn&#039;t know i was depressed until the doctor said that i was.  i went to him with complaints of stress (mostly work-related, some personal), weight gain (seems i focus on food and cravings a lot more these days, not to mention that i had a car accident on 4/03/09 and broke my neck, had to wear a halo for 3 months so that could also explain my weight gain of almost 30lbs), and difficulty falling asleep.  side effects so far have been; insomnia, no changes really in appetite, and failure to have an orgasm!
