It has helped tremendously with my anxiety which allowed me to get control of long term clinical depression. I am much less irritable and angry on it too. One big problem is that it makes me feel extremely tired and lazy. I don’t want to get out of bed to do anything, much less take care of my children. It has been hard. I was so happy and proud of myself for getting help and finding the right medicine. But it seems like it may not be. I have a follow up scheduled with my psychiatrist. I’m just wondering if anyone has had similar issues. I stopped taking it for a couple days and the anger, suicidal thoughts, and full on despair returned immediately. I seemed less tired during that time though. Still practically useless. I’ve been on it for about 7 weeks
