"i was prescribed this medication initially for depression and then along with another medication for atypical depression and panic disorder.  i had to give it some stars because it did help with the anxiety.  problem was i had no life.  no sex drive.  emotionally flat.  slept 12-16 hrs a day (i craved sleep all the time) and ate non stop eventually gaining 80 lbs.  finally my husband encouraged me to go off it.  i tapered the dose and experienced brain zaps and generally weird feelings for several weeks.
