I have struggled with depression and anxiety for 25 years. I had several, negative life events trigger my depression. I had been very stable for years. However, this time, my depressive symptoms came fast, furious and had some psychotic, scary features, including wanting to harm myself.

I have struggled with depression and anxiety for 25 years. I had several, negative life events trigger my depression. I had been very stable for years. However, this time, my depressive symptoms came fast, furious and had some psychotic, scary features, including wanting to harm myself. I started with a starter pack and I felt the positivity return immediately. I am on 1 mg a day and doing very, very well. My palms and feet sweat for about an hour after I take it. My interest in things has returned very quickly. I am very happy this drug was available during my crisis. I have only been on it for 8 days so far. I suspect I will remain on it at least for 3 months for stability. Especially during the winter. I hope it helps you, too.

DEVELOPED A SCALDED TONGUE FEELING, like as with a hot beverage. This was around 2 weeks after starting it. I thought I had burnt my tongue at first but it got worse. My whole tongue started to hurt more, so I called the clinic and they had me discontinue taking it. Made me upset having to stop it because it was working really good.

DEVELOPED A SCALDED TONGUE FEELING, like as with a hot beverage. This was around 2 weeks after starting it. I thought I had burnt my tongue at first but it got worse. My whole tongue started to hurt more, so I called the clinic and they had me discontinue taking it. Made me upset having to stop it because it was working really good. My mood had leveled out a lot and made my IBS symptoms better. My bowel movements were starting to 'normal'. I was informed this medication could stay in your system for up to 20 days. I don't know how long my tongue will be painful, I have been off the med for 11 days and it still is really sore. I also have developed a dry mouth. One side effect of the med is tongue movement, so that has added to the SORE tongue problem. It hurts enough I feel like crying all the time because it is very painful, aggravating and scary.

Quite impressed with my response to this medication. Just started 2 mg. I have more energy, have dreams again, don't feel disabled anymore. I have struggled with depression for 20 years and have 3 maternal family members who committed suicide. I sure wish this treatment had been available for them. One thing I have noticed is an increase in my already unhealthy appetite. However, I now h ... Show Full Comment

I am like the other reviewer in that my dreams have been Very Vivid and somewhat scary. I am, however, able to reason with myself during the dreams and tell myself that I will be Ok. The other side effect I have noticed is diarrhea...I'm prone to diarrhea anyway, but this is worse than normal and it's not subsiding as of yet. On the Good side, I have found myself drawing again, sewing agai ... Show Full Comment

The other side effect I have noticed is diarrhea...I'm prone to diarrhea anyway, but this is worse than normal and it's not subsiding as of yet. On the Good side, I have found myself drawing again, sewing again, and I seem to have the desire to do things that I haven't done in years!!! I didn't even realize I was doing all of these things until my husband pointed it out to me (and he is a huge critic of any medication). I'm Very Hopeful that it will continue to increase my desire to do the things I once Loved! I wish everyone the Best!!!
