> No appetite
> Permanent Diarrhea
> Bad ANXIETY
> Insomnia
> Rash on back
> Blood Pressure down

> I am considering sticking it out another couple weeks. Anyone have experience with simliar side effects, did they go away?

>Very much the sides of maois. Insomnia sometimes goes away. Anxiety sometimes goes away. But since the med is helping you may consider a benzo for anxiety and sleep. There is also a med for the low blood pressure. But that also my normalize in time.
