"i started taking this drug to battle mild depression.  50mg a day.



pros:

1) more energy than usual.  i go to the gym more than i used to (losing weight).  i go the &quot;extra mile&quot; at work, i got a promotion (financial industry/hedge funds).  2) depression started to fade 



cons: 1) dr told me to take it before bed. insomnia was so severe i switched to morning. 2) no desire for sex. 3) i started to feel numb, not literally.  stuff i care about, i no longer do.  this is where the depression starts to fade (partly). hard to explain this one... 4) i&#039;m alienating myself from friends. i like spending time alone, but i&#039;m spending even more so now. 5) i have to take ativan before bed from time to time due to extra energy"
