**Purposes:** Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Depression with anxiety *(Started Nov 18, 2011)*
Date	Dosage	Generalized Anxiety Disorder Efficacy	Depression with anxiety Efficacy	Side Effects	Adherence	Burden
Dec 13, 2011	20 mg Daily	Slight	Slight	Mild	Always	Not at all

Date: Dec 13, 2011
Advice & Tips: My side effects started immediately with the 10 mg/day dose, but had mostly subsided by the time I upped my dose to 20 mg / day. So, the side effects seemed to be transient. In contrast, the benefits have been growing on a much longer time scale, probably taking several weeks to notice a benefit for depression and GAD.

Advice & Tips: Others could take a higher dose. I can not because I am on Tramadol which shouldn't be combined with SSRIs. Muscle spasms were in the first week. I have only had them once since then and not as bad. But first time was very painful.

Date: Sep 29, 2011
Advice & Tips: At the beginning I got severe leg cramps but they've gone now. I stopped taking it but tried again after waiting a couple of weeks. Better now.
