If you can, start low on this one. I would do 10 or 15mg for a couple of days and slowly move up.
This drug did not get the nickname Cymbarfa for nothing.
Same goes when you come off of it s-l-o-w-l-y.
I got almost a years relief from this with several months very good results. No weight gain-lost a bit till the last couple of months I started to gain. I think it just quit on me but a year is about all I get out of a med if I am lucky. I do NOT do well on most antidepressants. This was a good one. I actually felt smarter on it. Better memory. Some slight hypomania here and there which was most welcome.Not to scare you off but just expect that if you are on this a while you will have to taper ever so slowly. It was yucky getting off of it for me.
Best of luck to you.
