"i really don&#039;t know how to rate this medication.  i only took it for about 3 weeks at 50mg per day.  it really helped with depression and with anxiety.  i have both depression &amp; panic disorder.  but, i started getting what i thought was acne everywhere.  now, i think it is some sort of allergic reaction because it is getting worse and i am very itchy &amp; my skin feels hot to touch.  i&#039;m not sure.  so i stopped taking it 6 days ago.  i am extremely depressed now and the hives are getting worse each day and i am exhausted.  i can hardly get up in the mornings.  but the hives are just awful.  i keep waiting for them to go away now.  i am so itchy and very tired.  the red bumps are all over my face, neck, and torso."
