"i was taking this drug for about 3 weeks (10mg) and not much happened. then in several days my mood improved a lot. i had been on almost every medicaton before this - sertraline, escitalopram (helped a bit but made my emotions flat), mirtazapine (helped but not enough), agomelatine, moclobemide (no reaction at all), trazodone (made me extremely anxious), clomipramine (helped a lot but had a lot of side effects: extreme sweating, constipation, decreased libido) so i was like &quot;ok, we can try this, i don&#039;t expect anything to happen&quot;. my diagnosis is anxious depression with a bit of ocd and i must say i feel well on this drug. no side effects so far (!). here in eu, it costs about 40 dollars a month, fully covered by state insurance."
