Hi Red Rose. I'm taking it, the generic. I'm on 100mg a day. And just started yesterday with weaning myself off of it. I've been on it a little over a month and each day since, i have felt worse. I gained 21 lbs in 4weeks, constipation is awful and my stomach/abdomen is so bloated and swollen. When i eat, my stomach feels so much worse.

My pdoc wont listen to me about the side effects i'm having. Thats why i'm taking it upon myself to wean off.

I'm not taking it for pain, only for depression. It helps off and on for the depression. But when its off, i'm having suicidal thoughts.

I hope this med works out great for you.
