"i have been taking this medication on and off roughly for about 5 years now i think. i take it at night because it helps to shut my brain off and it makes me tired. my anxiety/depression manifests in knee, leg and body pain. i don&#039;t necessarily feel anxious or i don&#039;t think i am depressed, but obviously there is something there. as soon as i start taking this medicine again i can move. i can do stairs without cringing in pain. little things in life don&#039;t bother me as much. i love it..so maybe this time i will just stay on it. i don&#039;t experience the weight gain or the sexual side effects."
