After reading all the posted side effects I am very scared to continue this medication. The doctor diagnosed me with anxiety. I have to work through this and try and not take anymore of this medicine. My husband and I want to have an active sex life. I mean.....who wants to be on medicine that doesn't let you enjoy sex! I also don't understand gaining weight. I haven't experienced any weight gain yet. My head is very dizzy and I also feel like I can't think straight. I work in a school and have to work with children all day. I don't want to take this medicine. What else can I do?

Have you had any luck getting off of this nasty drug? I have not had any luck getting off of it, but One thing that I have found is an amino acid called suntheanine aka L-theanine. It is found naturally in green tea. I take 200mg-400mg when I am feeling stresses and it calms my nerves. (and they taste good!) This is the brand I like. http://www.webvitamins.com/product.aspx?ID=25407 Good luck!
