I have been on it for 11 months with highest dose of 250 mg and can say from my experience it does more harm than good.
I quit cold turkey twice on 250mg and happy i did. I think AD's are a sham drug as i have hardly read any success stories.
Found out that besides the physical side/withdrawal effects it also affects the mitochondria (energy cells in the body) eventually making the illness worse.
Have a look at UBIQUINOL, apparently it's shown positive results on studies on mental illnesses and others without the horrid antidepressant side effects.
All the best.

Takes about 5 days to wash out- so the 50 is still in your system. If you’re doing well I wouldn’t change anything just yet.

I am sleeping probably to much don't want to wake up. Not in a bad way just happy to stay in bed.Just had a short walk to Postbox about 200 yards and am sure people in the street if they were looking out of window would think I was drunk. I could see my shadow in front of me and i was all over the path. I feel as though my legs are not getting the message from my brain in time and I am stomping and forcing my legs to move.
