| Mar 25, 2009 | I started this medication in January at an initial dose of 150mg a day. I experienced some mild shakiness that lasted for a few days and was then gone in less than a week. I just increased my dosage to 300mg/day and again I am experiencing the mild shakiness as before, but this time with a mild headache as well. My doctor prescribed this antidepressant because it is supposed to give you energy and that is exactly what I need. I found out it must work in that respect during a snowstorm when I could not get refills. Without it I was lethargic and slept most of the day. | monthly |
| Nov 07, 2009 | I haven't experienced any shakiness since the last evaluation. | monthly |

| Nov 06, 2009 | 150 mg. is usually too much for me. 100 mg. was too little. I read that treatments for overdosing include ventilation (so I get out in fresh air), activated charcoal ( I always have some on hand), and meds like the clonazepam that I take (so I increase my daily dose). If I don't address the overdose, a migraine results. | < $25 monthly |

| Jul 16, 2009 | Think this has caused decline in appetite. I believe it is an SNRI, which works on the dopamine system. I think my dopamine system is more off kilter than my serotonin system. This drug has worked for me in the past as well and I have minimal side effects. | < $25 monthly |
| Oct 26, 2009 | Very large drop in appetite when switched from XR to SR. Also difficulty sleeping about 5 nights after switch. Does seem to increase energy somewhat, but does not eliminate fatigue. Currently taking 300 mg to suppress desire to smoke. Has worked very well for that. "Brain Spins." See forum post, "Convulsions or What?" | < $25 monthly |
