"taking name brand. started 150 1x a day for a week. first day so amazing, energized,went to the gym, positive &amp; for 4 days felt great.5th not so much &amp; by 7th day was feeling back to my depressed self so i upped it to 2 a day. now i go from anxious to flat. feel absolutely nothing, zoned out, very irritable.  vivid dreams &amp; nightmares, kind of can&#039;t separate  dream from reality cause it seems like someone&#039;s in the house &amp; i wake up out of a dead sleep &amp; i&#039;m not sure if someone&#039;s in the house. going to give this a few more days if things don&#039;t get worse hopefully they&#039;ll get better, if not, not going to take it anymore. i took this because i wanted to avoid weight gain which happened years ago with other ssris. hasn&#039;t affected appetite."
