I really liked it, but I put on way too much weight so I had to get off it. That was unfortunate because it worked well for me otherwise. Not all people put on weight because of it though, so if your doctor is recommending it, I’d say it’s definitely worth a try.

Thank you. Did you get any other horrible side effects like emotional blunting, numbing of normal feeling. Have you got anxiety back

Hi Chi1504, when taking medications it more than just popping the pill.

It takes trust in your prescribing physician as well as patience in allowing

the medication to work and believing that it will help you in the long run.

However, not all meds work the same for everyone. It's basically a trial and

error process. It's not only about the medication itself but about the dosage

and time it will be taken. Sometimes these things need to be adjusted by your

doctor who knows your health history.

Please call your doctor to let him know the horrendous symptoms you got on

that med as well as how you are feeling now. It may just not be the right medication

for you. Don't suffer because of this bad experience. There are many other drugs

that may help you w/o the disturbing side effects. Unfortunately there is no

guarantee, but once you find the right med and dosage for you..life can become

amazing once again. :) xx
