I have decided to get off of it because of the side effects such as weight gain, blurred vision, severe sweating, not being able to sleep, concentrate, no sex drive, ringing in the head and ears, and many other side effects. As I sit here to write now I can hardly stay focused. If you are a new user or if you have not started taking this drug but samples have been given to you PLEASE DON'T take it. Try to get something else that has been around for a long time. Reader's I know deression is hard but your healthh means more. Take my word and either get a counselor or get an older drug that has proven to be okay.

Often times my friends (or sponsor) has to say to me, "So you're tired, and lonely - that's 2 of the 4." Once they point it out, I immediately realize why I feel out of sorts an cranky and how much potential danger I'm in.
