"hi i really wanted to share my experience as i read so many reviews that made me scared to take this drug. i switched after citalopram stopped working for me. i am now 4 months in and on 50mg (started on 20 and increased slowly) i have had no side effects with this drug apart from a dry mouth for about 2 days. my anxiety improved within days, not an instant cure but i was coping better. i feel that i am nearly back to normal now after what a period of crippling anxiety. i still feel worried sometimes but can now rationalise thing and the intrusive thoughts are about gone (fingers crossed!) i wanted to leave a positive review the reviews i read terrified me."
