i took it for several months as an ssri alternative b/c i hate the emotional numbing/blunting from ssri's.. it was very mellow and a little warm-feeling, no increase in anxiety and perhaps a decrease. the reason i eventually stopped it, oddly enough, is that it made me feel SO in touch with my emotions that i was crying all the time and just overcome (to be fair a lot was going on in my life at the time). i seemed to just start going up and down, up and down, while on this med, which i had never had with other antidepressants. i have no idea the reason(s) for this, but it was an interesting experience. very, very few side effects, maybe a little constipation, but nothing like ssri insomnia, nausea, headaches, and lack of ability to cry.
