"so i was severely depressed for over a year for a very stupid reason. i wouldn&#039;t leave my house, my condition was very bad. i was having panic, anxiety, suffering etc. so, i decided to start this medicine.  would say comparing to zoloft this is much better, my initial days were horrible i could not sleep and it took about 3 weeks for me to start feeling better. but after a month of use, even though i was sleeping well, i noticed during the days i had very little energy and felt very lazy. so i decided to quit rather than increase dose. after a month and half use i quit cold turkey and am feeling much better and don&#039;t feel any withdrawal symptoms, hope this helps."
