> I was on 125mg for about a 6 months and the side effects were just awful, even with how mentally great I felt. I was on 100mg for over a month and I felt like jumping off a cliff. I went from 100 to 125 because of that.

> All the other medications I was on for 6 months or more. They did nothing good for me, at all =/Man, sorry to hear that. It must be so frustrating to find a medication that treats your symptoms so well but gives you such unbearable side effects. I don't have any suggestions at the moment, other than some natural approaches like fish oil, st. john's wort, holy basil, rhodiola, vitamin D3, Magnesium, and good well balanced nutrition. Hopefully a few people here will have some good medication suggestions.
