| 2 | Insomnia | Helped with insomnia but I could not deal with the other side effects. Horrible muscle pain in legs and arms. Also felt like my skin was itching and crawling especially in my lower legs. | M | 41 | 2 months 50 mg 1X day | 4/14/2022 | 1 | Anxiety and insomnia | Stopped working could not sleep after 2 months, then started with blurred vision, shortness of breath, chest pains, elevated blood pressure, pulse over 100as much as 120 bpm, joint pains in hips, shoulders, neck, major headaches, felt like I had an earache, problems urinating, woke one morning my left leg blew up triple the size from my toes to my hip, was in the hospital for a week, foot kept swelling every morning!! I'm sure there is more side effects if I really thought about it. I thought I was having major health issues, looking for a referral for a heart Dr., which I probably will still get one to make sure there is no damage. Finally researched this medication, starting to wean myself off. This is not worth going thru all of these side effects!! Stop drinking caffeine by 4-5pm!! I'm done with this medication!! I really started getting depressed. Make better decisions about my health!! I can't believe I let it get this far! Everyone read your side effects or warning labels before taking any prescribed medication. | F | 48 | 6 months 50 mg 1X day | 6/23/2022 | 2 | Depression | Confusion, lack of focus, forgetfulness, foggy brain, slight heart palpitations | I am reducing to 25 MG tonight to wean off of it to see if side effects stop. It does help me get a deeper sleep and when I get up in the night I go right back to sleep. | F | 67 | 16 days 75 mg 1X day | 7/15/2022 | 2 | Insomnia | Extreme bloating. Headache. Hard to focus on daily tasks. Dry mouth. Muscle aches. Grogginess. Calming. Does make me fall asleep faster. Still wake up in middle of the night but I am able to go back to sleep again. Cons outweigh the pros, will try it out for a few more days. | F | 35 | 2 days 50mg 1X day | 9/18/2022 | 3 | Insomnia | Worked great for my insomnia for 4 days then slowly stopped where I was waking up 2-3Hours after taking between 50 and 75mg | Basically no adverse side effects | F | 75 | 8 days 50mg 1X day | 1/29/2023 | 5 | Insomnia with ADHD | Dry mouth. | Actually it is a miracle. After I had a mild form of Covid, I developed insomnia with zero sleep for over two weeks. With no sleep it exacerbated everything else! Worst thing I ever went through. Doctor did not want to prescribe zopiclone or benzos but prescribed this. Life saver. It took almost two weeks but I take 30 minutes before bed and I’m normal again. I also take Concerta every morning for 8 years for my ADHD. | F | 60 | 90 days 75 mg 1X day | 2/6/2023 | 3 | insomnia | I do not have my usual happy feelings, better sleep, leg pain, constipation,... I have tried so many pills such as antidepressants, and I have never received any help. I am considering stopping this medication. I feel badly that there are so many bad drugs out there. We must be in the stone age as far as meds for depression or anxiety. | F | 65 | 8 weeks 50 mg 1X day | 2/26/2023 | 1 | Trouble sleeping | Clumsy, loss of balance. Lay on bed staring at ceiling. I just couldn't think. Bad nightmares. Threw them out. Too scary. | F | 70 | 14 days 50 mg 1X day | 3/20/2023 | 1 | Insomnia | With chronic conditions, especially the invisible ones, they jam antidepressants down our throats claiming they will help for so many "off label" uses. Very rarely do they actually explain some possible side effects such as anxiety, depression, nausea, etc. They NEVER explain that just like the desired effects of the meds, the side effects also take time to start and to build up. You're not just super anxious or depressed or vomiting the next day. Could be weeks or months. So by then you never suspect this antidepressant they force down your throat is what's causing these horrible side effects. For 13 YEARS I suffered from constantly worsening debilitating nausea and feeling like I could constantly vomit. I stopped taking it and the nausea was immediately gone. But also was the horrendous debilitating anxiety that had been plaguing me all these years. had me wound tighter than 1000lbs spring. Lost absolutely everybody in my life due to it. Including my son and granddaughter, the only happiness left in my life. Does anybody else find it interesting that then whenever we complain about a new symptom or wanting further testing in the future, all these doctors claim we're just depressed. But then guess what, how much can we argue because we all just happen to be on antidepressants?!?! Just a coincidence, I don't think so. | F | 42 | 13 years 50mg 1X day | 4/18/2023 |
