1. On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being paxil and 10 being stimulants i'd give it a 5 or 6.
2.The first two to three weeks will consist entirely of you sleeping or thinking about sleeping. Keep in mind this is one of those last line meds they give you before stronger stuff like MAOIs, its not meant for the feint of heart. For people with anxiety issues its sedating qualities are amazing but i wouldnt call them very consciously profound like say a benzo.
3. it seems totally subjective, some people claim it stopped working for them after two months while others take it for years.
4. I've only heard of this happening to one person.
5.Yes it works very well as a daily sleep aid. Theres no way to know before hand how something that hammers your histamine receptors so hard is going to effect you. It sounds like you're looking for the perfect drug (those dont exist).
6. Some people claim it causes them to crave sugar to the point of eating it raw. I didnt have this experiance and didnt notice weight gain but like every anti depressant people will claim it makes them fat. Literally every anti depressant on the market has been blamed for massive weight gain, theres no way to know whats true.
