    This medication messes my body up badly. The first time I was on it I had terrible depression. It was borderline scary the thoughts I would have on this medication. This time around, a few days into, it I became horribly nauseated with bloating, belching and diarrhea. I had no appetite and if I did I'd get full and sick after two bites.
