Major Depressive Disorde
"Have tried this med as an add on to Lexapro twice in past year. Both times I felt an immediate (within 3 days) change/improvement. Started on .5 mg and stopped bc of weight gain. Several months of unrelenting depression strong suicidal thoughts/intentions despite exercise, avoiding alcohol, etc and I knew I had to try it again. Now 1mg and feel quite good. Sleeping pretty much through the night, except when hormonal, but that has been a consistent experience. Overall, I do use less Xanax on this medication. Appetite has increased, but has leveled off.  My physical exercise routine has also increased so I would say that I&#039;ve only gained about 3-4 lbs total, whereas before I had gained about 7-9# previously."
