"i have been on this medication only 2 weeks i am finally not crying all the time. i am still not sleeping. i go for days not sleeping and when i do it is only for 2 or 3 hours. i am hoping this med eventually helps my sleep time. i don&#039;t seem to be having any side effects. if weight gain is a side effect it will help since i have been too thin most of my life. i have tried so many meds for depression and this one seems to be the only one that has had any effect on it at all. i would considerate it to be wonderful and would recommend it for depression."
