Headache, shortness of breath, eye strain
It practically made my life hell, I feel sorry for anyone taking these drugs and pray that they may find a doctor who specializes in alternative treatments and seek holistic healing from God and natural remedies (orthomolecular, naturopath, homeopath, cognitive behavioural therapy), and other. Thank the Lord I got off this medication, it proved to be a fire too great for me. Not only that, but I became a porn addict and still struggle because of the loss of pleasure, I would not recommend this to anyone.
Helped with atrial flutters, they are not as painful and don't last as long.
Insomnia related to anti-depressant
complete absence of oils in my skin and hair. No earwax for about a year. Sweating in my eyebrows. Extremely painful bowel movements due to lack of normal body lubricants.
after beginning this horrible drug I felt confused (could not find areas in my town that I had known for decades) would wake up suddenly trying to catch my breath, would pee all the time, and blood pressure was actually rising instead of falling, vision messed up and thoughts of suicide came and went.....stopped taking it and everything went back to normal after awhile. This is HORRIBLE!!!!
