Some have said that it has the same side effects as Celexa. However most people are quoting from press releases - does anyone here know from experience (theirs or others')?

To the people that post on the board, a question.... What is your life like without this drug, is it better or worse? Some of the SE I'd rather live with than live life without the replacement of the brain chemical I lack, namely seratonin. Of all the side effects people state on this board MOST are treatable, tolerable, and improve over time. Give it a chance! Some take weeks to months, NOT just one dosage, or a day, or a week. This is not a "make me feel better now" drug. Best wishes to everyone, and if this drug does NOT work for you please don't give up hope, but be persistent and try something else.
