"i&#039;m on day 7 and i already see an improvement. my depression was getting so severe that i could not even leave my house and getting through the work day was unbearable. i can now eat, have conversations and get stuff done around the apartment. 

i don&#039;t understand why this a first line treatment for anxiety. i&#039;ve noticed myself a bit more on edge, excitable, and wired since starting. main side effects so far have been, more alertness/awareness, accelerated thoughts, slightly faster resting heart rate (around 80 bpm, before starting it was 65) and insomnia. i imagine these side effects will lessen once my body becomes used to the medication. i&#039;m only on 5 mgs qd."
