"update: i&#039;ve been on fetzima 5 months. it has worked better than any of the other 30 meds i&#039;ve tried. it took 4 months for my arms itching side effect to go away and soreness of my mouth&#039;s upper roof and upper gums also is gone. my heat and sweating is almost all gone. if i stay on the couch, i&#039;d have no sweating but when i did anything such as brushing my teeth i&#039;d get so much sweating. normally i don&#039;t sweat. these side effects do go away, so don&#039;t give up on this drug too soon. i don&#039;t get that drugged out tired feeling from the depression anymore. i do have a little anxiety from fetzima but it is usually when i&#039;m in bed trying to sleep more when really i had enough sleep which is good because that keeps me from escaping into bed."
