Side effects vary, some stay, and some go away. I had the initial constipation. Later I had trouble sleeping. The worst thing is when you reduce dosage. Be prepared for things to happen about 2-3 days after reduction of dose, like nightmares and vivid dreaming, unstable emotions. Not everyone has the same problems with this drug. I had to get off of it altogether. But it did work well in the beginning for me, it gave me more energy, and seemed to get me out of the depression. Eventually though, it increased the anxiety, after I added Wellbutrin in an attempt to eliminate the sexual side effects.
