I used it for tension and anxiety, and for that I felt really good. But the results were chronic constipation, impaction. weight gain, Not worth it for me , but it's not the med, it is good one.
It was worth trying a different medication for depression, what I was on before made me worse not better. This medication was better. I tried stopping taking it as I felt much better, but began to have trouble sleeping again so started on 1 tab a night again for good sleep.
Specific side-effects
Sleepiness
sweating
Burden
Makes it hard waking in the morning, always feel a bit dopey
Have taken it for years...doesn't take away the tingling, etc., but I am not constantly aware of it, so it doesn't drive me nuts.
Like Clonazepam, don't just quit...taper off!
