"i&#039;ve been taking 40mg of fetzima daily for the past 9 months.  for me it&#039;s hands down the best antidepressant i&#039;ve ever tried.  my mood is significantly better and i have more energy.  most importantly it has lifted my need for other mood altering medicines.  i have been sober for four months without really trying.  amazingly i no longer feel the need to &quot;escape&quot; reality.  i hope and pray it continues to work as it&#039;s given me a glimpse of what life without addiction and depression can be.  it&#039;s been life changing.  
as for side effects i have noticed an increase in irritability.  i have had inconsistencies in the bedroom as well.  sometimes good, sometimes bad.  overall well worth it for me!"
