For Depression "Took this years ago for bipolar. I took it for several months, and it caused severely agitated mania. Felt good and euphoric at first, and quickly turned into extreme anger and impulsivity. Barely slept, and when I did, the nightmares were violent and never-ending. Dr. took me right off it."

For Major Depressive Disorder "Was on the lowest dose, to prevent too many food restrictions. Did nothing for my depression-in fact, made my mood awful, gave me nightmares in which I did unspeakably violent things, and a waking rage I have never experienced. Weeks off it, and my doctor is trying to get rid of my extreme agitation and anger with no success. I can’t interact with people without losing my temper. Comes in a very convenient patch form, but that’s the only positive, in my opinion."
