> I started taking this drug after some very unsuccessful attempts at Celexa, Zoloft and Prozac. After my first dose (15 mg) I felt like my brain had been dipped in ether. I went into a very dark place, began to feel much lower than I had before, and could barely put two thoughts together. I cut the dosage in half the next night. This reduced the sedating side effects signifcantly. I stuck with it for the next week at 7 1/2 mg, and soon the sedation went away. I'm back up to 15 mg now, in my second week and I feel pretty good. I'm certainly sleeping better and my concentration has improved a great deal.
I also don't feel depressed for the first time in a long while. I know that's pretty remarkable for just a week and a half of medication - but I'm told the drug does act more quickly than many SSRI's.
