not that i’ve noticed, but it’s hard to tell because i’ve been on some form of SSRI’s for 5+ years now and they’ve all had weight gain as a side effect. In terms of appetite, nope! Another one is my body feeling realllyyyy restless when trying to fall asleep at night but i’ve been advised by my doctor that taking it earlier in the day will help with that (I also haven’t been strict enough on my sleeping schedule so that doesn’t help)

I'd say I'm feeling some benefits but it's still way too early. What about it are you finding beneficial? How much are you on?

I've been on this for a week and think I've been noticing some results. It might be too soon to tell or the placebo effect, but I find that I'm able to move on from distressing/intrusive thoughts a lot easier compared to last week, which was riddled with terrible thoughts, stress and anxiety. It's not a drastic change but it feels like improvement. I'll definitely keep taking it and see if I continue to notice a difference.

Also makes me really drowsy throughout the day so I might go back to coffee. I take 50 mg at night.

my biggest side effect is waking up cold and sweaty? which is weird but also a common side effect. And ya I guess it’s lessened my physical anxiety and also made it easier to resist compulsions. I’ve just upped it to 250mg after being on 100 for about 4 weeks.

Any weight or appetite changes? The drowsiness will be tough for me as it could impact my job.
