    Hi linda sorry to hear your problems, I am concidering using this drug instead of citalphram and just wondering have your systems improved any.  It must be terrible when you start a new drug and dont feel it, working.  hope it works out for you.

      Hi John

      Since I first posted, my symptoms have gotten better.

      I still have the depression but I don't think as bad. My dr increased me to 60mg & was on that for only 6 days & had all kinds of symptoms so I went back to the 30mg & will call her & let her know.

      Everyone's body works differently when it comes to meds. So it might work ok for you, give it enough time for your body to get use to it at lease a few weeks. If u can't adjust get off it & try something else.

      Good Luck Linda
