| Rating | Reason | Side Effects | Comments | Sex | Age | Time Taken and Dosage | Date Added | |
| 5 | depression and anxiety | Delayed orgasm; lowered libido; dry mouth for a few nights; constipation, but getting better with lots of water, fiber and prunes. | Note my comments are based on having been on this med for 60 days. It has been a great help to me. I was undergoing enormous suffering from depression and anxiety...especially the latter. I wanted to be dead, just to stop feeling, but was too distressed to even think about suicide. And this drug has helped. I understand it's difficult to get off of, but I've discussed strategies with my psychiatrist, so I'm not worried. In fact, I'll never get off of it if it continues to work. I'd been on Prozac for 18 years, until it finally "pooped" out. | M | 66 | 60 days 20 mg 1X D | 3/29/2015 | |
