"i started this medicine in nursing school. very much so needed. i started seeing myself with less worry, and a more of a &quot;whatever&quot; type of mentality. i figured that worked for me. however, my biggest problem has been the weight gain. before i knew it i gained atleast 25 lbs. i&#039;m a very active person and i do what wait i eat, especially since i am a cardiac nurse. also make sure you never miss a day of the medication. my side effects would be vertigo and shooting nerve pains in my head. i just upped my dosage to 150mg hoping it will increase my energy and help with weight loss. i was really bad off emotionally before so besides everything above, i have my life back."
