After only four days on the 37.5 mg a day strength capsule, I decided to stop, but I did notice the constipation, blurred vision, sweats (last night at work I had to change scrubs), tremors and even a mild lack of sexual desire when I saw my SO at work (and this is VERY significant for me!).
I talked to one of the ER doctors who told me "Whatever drug you use as an anti-depressant is going to have a list of side effects that include the ones you're experiencing. They HAVE to list those! Even if someone farts, they have to list that!"
It cost me 25 bucks as a copay on my insurance company, but it was worth it to find out that it ISN'T worth it! I am 53, and my SO and I enjoy a very healthy sexual lifestyle. Yes, I have my downs, but I think I'll go back to the St. John's Wort and make some other adjustments. If any of you have recommendations as to another NATURAL mood enhancer, I'd be happy to read about them here.
Thanks for your responses!
