After trying 4 other drugs for depression, I finally got on this; and it works great! Depression has subsided, and I sleep much better and rise without a "hangover" feeling. No side effects that I can tell.

I was on Remeron for about 3 wks before noticing significant weight gain. I've switched to Elavil but still have the weight.

I have gone from using Effexor to using this drug and found it has not helped. I have had increased irritability, uncontrolled anger, sleeplessness.

I had serious side effects such as hands and feet swelling, difficulty breathing, and an unbelievable increase in appetite...eating as if I were starved!! Also, I was very sleepy during the day and in the short time that i used this drug I gained about 10 lbs.
