"worst experience i&#039;ve ever had on any medication.  my doctor started me on a small dose.  within 30 minutes of taking it, i felt a buzzing in my head and a fuzzy, numb feeling.  then, about an hour later, the really bad side effects kicked in.  my heart started racing and feeling like it was going to explode.  i started hearing voices.  i felt so bad i almost called 911 -- i couldn&#039;t even stand up or lay down -- just laid propped up on the couch for about 24 hours until the effects started wearing off.  it was the scariest experience i&#039;ve ever had and made me afraid to take any other anti-depressant."
