Has not helped yet with the sleep problem though. | M | 30 | 1 months | 5/22/2001 | 3 | severe depression | 1) I became obsessed with food and eating. It was all I could think about and could only go an hour without stopping for donuts or a burrito. I gained over 5 pounds in a month. 2) I felt like I was drugged all day, like I was half asleep in a dream world or in slow motion. | It made my depression go away and I was really upset about having to stop taking it but the side effects were unacceptable. I went on to try yet another antidepressant. | F | 38 | 28 days | 5/24/2001 | 3 | depression and anxiety | M | 38 | 6 months | 1/7/2002 | 4 | depression | F | 54 | 4 months | 4/2/2002 | 2 | depression, insomnia | Slept better, but gained so much weight and was hungry all the time.

I'm going to try taking half a dose and see if that helps the side effects | F | 35 | 2 days | 4/28/2002 | 2 | depression, refractory | When taking 30mg at bedtime, I was woken (like clockwork)at 4am with terrible back pain/muscle spasms. | M | 32 | 5 days | 5/6/2002 | 2 | F | 44 | | 5/29/2002 | 3 | depression, insomnia | It worked very well for me but I gained 40lbs. on it right away!

My vision blurs, I am always hungry, and the inside of my mouth is as dry as a desert. I require at least 12 hours of sleep. Also, my lip, brow, and cheek has started twitching. | It is good for my depression, but the side effects are ridiculous. I hate needing so much sleep. It is a good medicine, but I wonder if the side effects are worth it. | F | 23 | 1 years | 10/4/2002 | 1 | depression | I gained 55 pounds within a couple of months, my mouth was always dry, it caused psychotic effects like paranoia and hallucinations, anxiety, it caused manic moods, irritability. | this was the worst drug I have ever been on in my life.
