"I had no side effects while starting this medication. I started off at 37.5 mg and now I'm at 300mg a day I feel a lot better then I did back then. I wasn't able to leave my house for 14 months and now I can. 300 mg dose worked for years and still does. But it seems my body may have gotten a lil too used to it cause my anxiety and depression are back a bit but not to where I can't function. I was anxiety free for 3 years on this pill, don't hesitate to try it!"

"I've took my first pill yesterday morning. A couple hours later I noticed tingling in my foot and leg as if it had fallen asleep. It lasted most of the day but went away. I was extremely tired about 5 hours after taking the medication. Then nausea kicked in. This morning I woke up with one of the worst panic attacks and dizzy. I want to climb out of my own skin. I know I should give the medication a couple weeks but I'm too scared to take it again"
