The only draw back is I have gain excessive weight in this year of taking Ability along with Cymbalta. My Dr wants to cut back my doses and this gives me anxiety just thinking about that b/c this is working so well now. But everytime I'm complaining about weight gain so that's why he wants to cut back. I am obese as it is and perhaps the extra weight is causing Dr's concern with medication.

this med has helped with my anxiety and I feel more balanced being on this med. My dr took me off of it because I was misdiagnost with bipolor and I ended up in the hospital. I have noticed some weight gain but able to control with exercise. Overall this med has really helped me feel normal again.

This drug could kill you - BEWARE! It caused so many side effects that I discovered only after coming to WebMD ... when I described them to the doctor, who should have known better, his "solution' was to put me on more drugs. He should have known I was experiencing side effects from THIS DRUG!

Caused feelings toward certain people to have the ability to KILL WITHOUT REMORSE. Thank Goodness I recognised these thoughts as inappropriate and discontinued the drug. Wellbutrin and Paxil work best for me. I have tried many.
