GSK who manufactor this drug dint know how bad the effects of coming off it was when it was first brought out, it WAS seen as a mircle pill, infact my own doctor who initally gave it me said they were mircle pills! yeah right, try the withdrawel off them doc :ohmy:.
please if you havent started these tablets go back and ask if there is another antidepressant that could work for you, you have done your own research and as you said there isnt much positive feedback, it speaks for its self, the medication might work but unless you want to be like me and thousands of others out here who are trapped on it, ask for an alternative please :hugs: cause the withdrawel can be just as bad if not worse than the inital illness, i know im going through it now, i hope you sort it and start to feel better soon xx linda xx
