i've only been on this for a couple of days. i've been on & off ad's for over 10yrs now for clinical depression which varies greatly in intensity. for the moment all i've had in way of negative effects is sleepiness.
i'd like to hear how other people have got on with this medication. especially people who are not mixing it with other medications.
previous ad's have given me lots of negative effects from nausea to seizures to nightmares etc. i've heard this drug has many less and severe side effects, guess i'm just looking for re-assurance.
what benefits have you gained from this drug and in what timescales?

I obtained slight measure of relief from my moderate depression/anxiety after 4 weeks of taking one pill (12.5 mg) three times daily. It wasn't enough to bother continuing the medication, though. I wasn't taking anything with it.
The only side effect was that it was kind of hard to get out of bed in the morning. Once up, though, I didn't continue to feel groggy.
Let us know how you make out.

thanks for replying.
did you stop after the 4 weeks?
i'm getting side effects with stablon, not as bad as with previous medications but still...
funnily enough 1st thing in the morning is when i'm least groggy. about 30min after taking a tablet i feel drowsy and have a bit of nausea. i also seem to have general stomach problems with it.
i've since posting found info about the drug on the net but very little as far as users experiences of it are concerned.
early days yet i suppose (1 week), guess i'll need to wait a bit longer to decide if it's worth continuing or not.
alison :-)
