For Pain "I was put on this for dizziness, chronic fatigue, and muscle ache. This drug is toxic. I am just 24, it has destroyed my life. I lose my emotions, rather, I was too sensitive and loving, but now I have lost my personality. It's now 4 months since I quit this drug, and I am still not able to sleep at night nor enjoy my life as I used to.

For Panic Disorder "I was prescribed this at low dose for GAD and Panic Disorder. I experienced some relief at 25 mg but could not push the dosage any higher due to extreme dizziness and sweating. I was severely lightheaded any time I stood up (typically right at the threshold of fainting) and struggled to work out. Discontinued after a month and did not experience meaningful withdrawals."

Definitely, this medication is worth a try."
