I took it for a while for a nasty bout of depression and anxiety. It was pretty effective and I had NO discontinuation effects AT ALL when I tapered it.
Don't be put off by a very vocal minority who suffer unusual and unfortunate side effects!
I understand the normal rule of thumb is that you have to be taking an SSRI for six weeks before you'll suffer discontinuation effects, so I guess you could review things at say four weeks in and quit then if you've had no improvement.
