I used it for about 2 years and I must say that it made a HUGE difference in my anxiety and overall mood. I felt so much better emotionally while I was on it. However, I did notice that it made me very sleepy and somewhat amotivated. Plus I think I gained a few pounds. That's why I eventually switched over to Celexa. But for starters, I think it's probably a very good drug. It definitely got me out of a very dark place and may have even saved my life at the time. Good luck to you! Jess
