"i consider this drug, which i&#039;ve been on since 2012, the backbone of my psychiatric treatment, although my regimen also includes lamictal and wellbutrin. when i first took it i was shocked because the next day i went to the gym to work out, something i hadn&#039;t been able to do/enjoy in quite some time due to anhedonia. initially as my doctor had me titrating up i experienced some td at night, but that soon abated. now, at 80 mg nightly, i still rely on this medication to keep me functional. it didn&#039;t put weight on me either. i had some issues with health insurance this year and was forced to go off of it and boy did i feel a difference. it really lifts my depression. thank god i&#039;m back on it again."
