major depressive disorde
"9 months ago I was prescribed this in combination with venlafaxine to treat major depressive disorder, anxiety and complex ptsd.

Initially I did not notice any side effects but about 3 months in I suddenly gained so much weight that none of my clothes fit. It seemed to almost happen overnight and whilst I was struggling with the fact that I had NOTHING to wear, I started to get hot flushes, pee my pants without realising and sweat like a sauna at random moments, esp in my groin area.

Lovely.

Add to that - memory loss, freaky (exhausting) dreams, fingernails that split if you look at them and trembling hands .....what do you get? A fat sweaty smelly trembly LUMP who is now too depressed and anxious to even go out the front door. I quit."
