Advice/Tips
During the first few weeks on this medicine i lost my appetite completely and had a very strange taste in my mouth. I felt very anxious and was unable to sleep, but these effects soon passed and this is honestly the best antidepressant I have found.
Burden
Paying for the medicine every month as well as knowing that i cannot go without it. I do have insurance which helps with the cost, but sometimes it is still hard to afford all of my medications.
Cost
$25-49 monthly
