"this medicine was the 1st thing in years that made me feel like myself again. it started working within a few days. the panic attacks subsided almost immediately and the depression lifted. the side effects i experienced (although annoying) were nothing compared to the benefits it gave me. the 1st 2 weeks i was nauseous and tired, felt out of it but my head was clearer and thoughts focused after that. i did lose like 20 pounds, it stopped my emotional eating. the worst part was the night sweats i had for about 2 months or so. i was on it for about 5 months but had to wean off due to lack of insurance. coming off was terrible though... total withdrawal, brain zaps, confusion etc. i&#039;ll get back on it as soon as i can because i know it did wonders."
