"this medication is very activating without making me anxious. i take it for depression, but i also have general anxiety disorder, and ocd. i was a little worried about taking it at first because one of the side effects indicated that it could make anxiety worse, but i didn&#039;t have that problem at all. it definitely helps with depression and lifting my mood. it&#039;s not a &quot;happy pill,&quot; but it is good with getting and keeping you going and not letting depression ruin you and keep you from doing what needs to be done and living your life."
