I guess I'm partially scaring myself by reading side effects but I was curious about the experience of those who have had this medicine.

I'm ready to give up honestly when it comes to medicine. I know it can help-- I have chemical imbalances but it isn't a complete fix and the other half I'm working on but the output still is subpar. I'm so tired of living this way. My psychiatrist is running out of ideas, my therapist is always supportive but with limited change it has to be taxing on him, and my support system is limited at best.

If this doesn't make a difference in me -- I'm not dishing out money I don't have for medicines that may work for awhile and poop out on me. I just don't know what else to do. I'm not here to whine about how horrible my life is... I just wish someone could see the world through the lens I have to.
