"because this is a food/medicine, there is no way it can cause side effects.  i have only been on it for a little over a week, but i am thrilled!!  i do not feel depressed, and i am feeling energized and better than i have in years!  i have taken every kind of antidepressant there is, i think.  i weaned off the last one, and right now i am not on anything but deplin.  i am amazed."
