"i think my depression is more situational. i&#039;m unhappy with my job, where i live and being alone.  i started taking the 50mg, i felt better the first week, then 3 weeks later started taking the 100mg, i don&#039;t notice a change. true about taking the drug when you wake up, it gives you energy. take it when you wake up or you will not sleep well. i&#039;ve had a couple of really strange dreams. the problem is that i need to make some changes in my life to really find happiness and really knock out this depression. the only side effect i have is reduced sex drive."
