"i was on this years ago after having tried ssris which really messed me up and then caused nasty withdrawals. it is amazing - it works fast - and no side effects except increased appetite. this time around i need that because i lost so much weight having no appetite. i avoided social situations and drank wine just to calm anxiety or relax. this zonks you out into a great slumber so take a bedtime for sure. i stay at 15mg but dr said in future might raise. it really is awesome. you just feel stable and normal and pleased to do daily activities i used to avoid."
