It worked for me but it took 10 weeks to get over the side effects, mine included shakes, extreme nausea, no appetite, sleeplessness, yawning, itching skin & hives, extreme sweating including feet, headaches, fatigue, joint & muscle aches, distorted vision, worsening anxiety for first 7 - 10 days. I've been on them for 17 weeks and now I am over the worst and glad I persevered with them.

Either - they both work the same. Different people get on better with different meds, and its often trial and error finding the correct one to suit you. Usually the first one you take works well.
They do take a long time to work and often you don't see any improvement for many weeks, sometimes months. You need to just dig your heels in, however bad you feel, and get through the side effects and out the other side.
It gets worse before it gets better. But the meds will really help you.
