"this medication strongly relieved my depression/anxiety. after having a horrible experience with sertraline, i was wary of trying a new drug. however, this drug has been a lifesaver and i&#039;m so glad i continued to try medication. it made me functional and able to enjoy life again (--: i did experience some side effects for the first two months, including: lack of appetite, weight loss, sleep disturbances, and difficulty achieving orgasm. these effects faded though, and now the only time i experience anything negative is if i miss a dose. do not try this medication if you cannot adhere to a strict regimen. the withdrawal symptoms after missing a dose are unpleasant. that said, don&#039;t be afraid of this drug! take it as directed and it works."
