Welcome to the thread. I was on fetzima for a few months and it made me really mean, which is completely against my personality. I loved it at first because I was so manic in a good way for about 6 weeks, then the agitation set in and I felt my skin crawling constantly. So, I decided to cut it in half. (I was on 80mg). On the second day of the half dose I attempted suicide and was taken against my will to the hospital for the first time ever. It's a powerful drug. I miss it sometimes- I'm back on zoloft now and so down. I miss the mania so much. I just wanted to let you know so you are careful- I know everyone reacts differently. Best of luck to you.
