"i am 38 yr old mother of 2 teenage boys. depression has plagued me with thoughts of suicide a constant companion. this drug really helped (10mg for me), i am not so worried or bothered by things, i can handle just about anything. i love it, i have been on it 8 months and i want to wean off because of the weight gain (10 lbs) and loss of libido. i tried to wean off before and the withdrawals were so bad, if you decide to stop taking it, see your doctor. i recommended at least a 2 month withdrawal if not more, seriously, it is so bad. the nausea, dizziness and head zaps are debilitating."
