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.

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.

Advice & Tips
It surprisingly *improved* my libido - I was getting hard at anything remotely female. It also caused rather severe anorgasmia, so I switched to burpopion instead.

Advice & Tips
This worked well, but my depression worsened and I needed something stronger. I was trialed on celexa, but that caused urine retention when mixed with my amytriptlene. So now I am on zoloft which is working ok.
