"Been on this generic XR capsule 150 mg. just 4 days and have nausea, shakiness, blurry vision, insomnia, crying spells. This is awful and getting off this right away! Was on just before I started taking this was just 2 tablets, twice a day, 75 mg. No problems of side effects. Just wasn't working much anymore. There is a difference in side effects!"

"Worked great for social anxiety and anxiety, the downsides for me are loss of appetite and sexual dysfunction. Had no luck ejaculating when I'm on it. Other side effects disappear around 2 weeks."
