my update... been at 20mg for over a month now (started 2/7 @ 10mg)

pros:
-cognitively a little sharper
-good sex drive
-just starting to feel a little happier (past day or 2)
-just starting to feel a little calmer and less socially anxious (past day or 2)
-lost all the weight I gained on side-effexor

cons:
-more irritable
-still getting the big D
-occasional stomach pain at night
-low motivation/low energy/don't care about things
-kinda blaise socially
-felt kinda more depressed up until the past couple days.

I was just about to discontinue this drug because of low motivation and feeling more depressed than normal. And the "don't GAF about anything" feeling. But the past couple days it feels like it is "kicking in" so to speak.

I'll give it another couple weeks and see if this lasts.
