"i had/having a horrible time with this medication. currently trying to wean off with my mds help. i&#039;ve had every listed side effect and subsequent health problems that required expensive work ups. most dramatically i developed vertigo and severe headaches after being on the med for about 3-4 months. vertigo was debilitating and required time off of work and multiple doctor appointments to rule out other conditions.  i also had electrical zings and numbness and tingling down my body. the weaning has been the most problematic causing these awful side effects to worsen. i&#039;m a registered nurse and i would never recommend this drug to anybody. i did not feel any benefits for my depression."
