"this medication has given me my life back. for months i walked around in a haze, had trouble focusing, getting out (and staying out) of bed, and would sleep for 18  hours. my social life suffered, my grades suffered, i would cry all the time, had trouble communicating, or wanting to be literally anywhere but in bed. i started on 50mg for a little over a month and while things slightly improved, it wasn&#039;t enough. i should also mention the side effects in the first week were terrible - brain fog, sleepiness, just general haziness... terrible. overall, i was still depressed just... less. my doctor and i agreed to increase the dose to 75mg and this is an amazing medication. i can get out of bed, i can cook/shower/do laundry again, and i have done more school work in the past two weeks than i have for months. i can socialize and talk again, i don%u2019t cry as easily, i wake up and don%u2019t dread the day ahead. i feel human again, this is amazing. only side effect i%u2019ve noticed is i%u2019ll occasionally have a dry mouth but it%u2019s very minor. highly recommend!"
