 1  Depression Dizziness, complete sexual shutdown, restlessness, worse anxiety, unable to concentrate, memory loss, increased blood pressure. Withdrawal from this drug is painful. After taking it for about two years, it simply wasn't doing anything for depression. When I stopped it, I started getting dizzy, drunk like sensations, mild paranoia, deeper depression. When I asked the guy who prescribed this why they don't tell you that this is going to happen, he said, "Oh they never do any studies about what happens when you STOP taking it." Be very careful with this one. M 56 2 years
