"i&#039;ve been on this medication for 4 weeks now. while i&#039;m sure the benefits are still yet to take full effect i still feel confident in saying this drug has been a major success! i&#039;ve been diagnosed primarily with anxiety and major depressive disorders, and have been on paxil, zoloft, remeron, and effexor. i was told to try this for it&#039;s less likely occurrence of side effects. no sexual side effects! finally, this kicked in by week 1 with the others. no weight gain- in fact i&#039;ve lost 5 lbs with no change in diet or appetite (though i&#039;ve heard it&#039;s common.) i have had a little insomnia, but for me the benefits outweigh the negatives. hope this helps someone!"
