"was prescribed this medicine to combat my generalized anxiety disorder. it worked fine for a few months, but then i got depressed.  i didn&#039;t want to leave the house, talk on the phone, or even text or email any friends at all.  i also gained 20 lbs.  that might have had something to do with the depression that suddenly came about also.  this might work for some people, but i was not one of them."
