Well I've been taking it for 5 days. The first day I took it at night and it was pure h3ll - the first night I took the 37.5mg pill and went to bed around 11:00 and woke up at around 2:30am. I woke up feeling like I was cracked out on something. I don't know what, cuz I don't do drugs, but it was horrible. I decided maybe I should switch to taking the pill in the morning (she told me to if in interupted my sleep). So I took it in the afternoon the next day (to gradually move to the morning). Abuot an hour after I took it I started getting the same feeling I had the night before, but it was much more mild and lasted about two hours. Since then, I've been perfectly fine. I'm much more perky and don't snap at my boyfriend... and it's only been 5 days.
I'm not taking it for anxiety, I have moderate depression which my doctor thinks it situational depression (I just moved away from my family from Oregon to Arizona to live with my boyfriend). I never felt sad at all - but I did lose interest in most stuff, I was always exhausted, and very irritable. We'll see.
My doctor is going to try to ween me off of the pills after 3 months to see how I'm feeling without them. If I'm better, I'll be done, if I'm not, I'll stay on them I suppose.
