> > One more thing--how long have you been taking it and at what dose? You may just need to give it a few more weeks to get the total effect. Are you having lots of anxiety right now? Have you ever used SSRI's before? If not, I would definitely say to stay on it for a bit and see if your opinion changes.

I started at 20 mg. and worked up to 40. That was the highest I ever got, and I don't think that you would need much more than that. In fact, 20 mg. worked for almost 2 years. It was only a year ago that I had to begin raising the dose. And then it just kind of pooped out on me. Or at least I think that's what happened.
