I took them for a while, it is an anti-psychotic med I think (used for depression though)

They completely wiped me out, tired, dry mouth etc so I had to stop taking them. They are different for different people though.

Hope this helps.

Hi

I have been on these tablets since December, initially on 25mg and now up to 100mg. I was prescribed these for severe anxiety along with seroxat. They have been a lifesaver for me. The side effects (dry mouth, zombie like feelings, dizziness etc) have all settled down and i now have no problems with these meds.

Hi

You should start to feel a difference right away, but it can take up to 2 weeks. Initially i was on 25mg which is the lowest dose, this was increased to 100mg by my psychiatrist. It can take sometime to get the right dose for you, so if you don't feel any better on this dose maybe you should go back to get it reviewed.
