"i had high hopes for this medication. at 25 mg, i thought i noticed a slight positive effect. about when i upped from 25 to 50 mg, i experienced about two weeks of feeling extremely depressed, which continued when i increased to 75 mg. it did somewhat decrease my agitated anxiety, but did not help with my obsessive ruminations. aside from the depressed mood and mild sedation, i didn&#039;t notice any side effects. when i decreased back to 25 mg, i noticed the depressed mood lifting and an increase in anxiety."
