"It was effective for anxiety, but my depression got worse. I felt more apathy and fatigue. When I started to lower the dose in order to stop taking it, I felt less tired. Withdrawal was tolerable."

"I was very hesitant to try this. I kept hearing nightmare stories about brain zaps and massive weight gain but was relieved to hear some of you lost weight. I have had an eating disorder since childhood and felt very uncomfortable when I gain weight. I was so damn depressed I could not fight it, severe rage, I felt like I was suffocating and that no one else had feelings this intense, it was beyond my capabilities. I attempted suicide twice during lockdown. After reopening, it was like my brain was stuck. Nothing gave me pleasure. I kept getting worse. I love summer but have been holed up in my apartment. Not even the sunshine or music was boosting my moods anymore. That scared me. I would just go off at the smallest things. I lost friends and family over this. I was miserable and broken, like this is my life. My GP doctor told me this is no way to live and gave me a low dose. So far I'm feeling more relaxed. I woke up not wanting to cry. I hope this helps me."
