"i suffered from moderate depression. this medication balances me out pretty well overall. i don&#039;t have the horrible anxiety filled days that i previously had before taking this. i have been taking it for about a year now. the only side effects i had weren&#039;t too serious. i&#039;d occasionally get an upset stomach but i figured out that&#039;s avoidable if i take it with food. also i had (and still have) crazy vivid dreams nearly every night but that&#039;s harmless."
