Recently got prescribed 10MG by my doctor because he thinks my anxiety is affecting my hypertension. Been about a month now and it seems like it's maybe working, my BP is down. So far no side affects, my Doc said it could affect my libido or even give me ED, but so far I can still... uhhh... do the deed just fine. Also no weight gain, if anything I've lost a few pounds.

Idk just curious people experiences.

When you stop a lot of antidepressants, some people will feel like an uncomfortable shock going through your head randomly. Depends on the person and medication tho

Very unpleasant side effect of going off some antidepressants. It feels more or less exactly how it sounds. Its like the feeling you get when you hear someone scrape a fork across their teeth when they're eating (that might just be me)
