"this was indeed the scariest medication ever. i started it and the first two weeks were too much. i had the normal beginning-taking-new-antidepressant side effects but i&#039;d have hallucinations in the dark. things would move and sway and melt together. it began to make me numb over the five years i took this medicine. i couldn&#039;t &quot;feel&quot; anything. all i wanted to do was sleep and sit there and zone out. i felt as though i was in limbo. they tried all doses and absolutely nothing changed. not only that, i would miss a day and it was a nightmare. eventually i cut myself off of it in the way the doctor told me to. scariest experience ever. worst few weeks of my life. i still had nighttime hallucinations, i felt like i was falling off a skyscraper."
