"first antidepressant i tried after my first panic attack (which eventually turned into gad based depression).  this med didn&#039;t seem to help at all.  made me super somnolent yet i couldn&#039;t sleep without the aid of a benzo.  my brain just felt overactive.  first time i took it was for about 2 and 1/2 weeks, hated how i felt, got off and was fine.  second time, a few months later, feelings came back.  i decided to try this one more time.  again, worse sleep and just made me feel super disconnected and tired all the time.  mind you, i originally tried at night and after no success with sleep, switched to morning.  after a month, i stopped it.  it wasn&#039;t helping at all.  heard this is most sedating of ssri&#039;s but wasn&#039;t for me."
