"ive been on this medication about 3 months. at first i was scared to take it. the reviews are terrible but i have tried alot of other meds without success. i started off taking it at night but i would wake up so sore that i didnt want to move the next day. so i switched to taking it in the mornings and that symptom went away. i also had constipation pretty bad the first month but that symptom went away too. my husband noticed a change in me first.  the side effects eventually went away. i upped my prescription from 30mg to 60mg after one month. some side effects came back but again they eventually went away. i have to say this has been the best depression medicine i have been on for depression. but it hasnt done much for my social anxiety."
