How do you find the sexual side effects, or sleeping? Also include the dosage

I haven't taken it personally, but, you should sleep nicely with it. It is a potent Serotonin Reuptake inhibitor, so it may cause a loss of Libido like the SSRI's, but it also inhibits Norepinephrine which may couteract some of the Libido loss.

First of all, it was the most effective antidepressant I have ever taken. The trouble was, I (and most patients I understand) can't have orgasms while taking it. It had no effect on sexual desire. It did not sedate me at all.

Oh, by the way, I was only taking 75 mg per day.

It does have a reputation for being one of the best.
