The only lasting side-effects have been severely delayed and muted orgasm and occasional night sweats. Except for that this drug has been pretty transparent. | Helped a lot with depression. Helped only a little for Social Anxiety and OCD. Didn't help with ADHD sympoms but it's not really used much for that. I'm up to 80mg now, but I think it's equally effective at 60.

You only need that for the first 2-3 weeks to counteract the TEMPORARY increase in anxiety. | M | 38 | 4 months | 7/8/2002 | 5 | depression | dizziness,yawning | I was unable to function I was so depressed.
