"overall i would say this medicine is very succesful in treating my depression.  however, ever since starting (5 months ago) i have insomnia and sexual difficulties.  these two problems are significant enough to where i am choosing to opt off this medicine.  that being said, these type of medicines have different side effects for each individual, i.e. there is no standard side effect.  i would highly recommend this medicine to anyone struggling with depression.  i wish i could stay on this medicine but unfortuantely my inability to sleep and have sex is enough to disturb my regular functioning (especially sleep)."
