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.

Yeah thanks. I used to drink a lot more (I actually worked in alcohol production so I go WAY too much free booze), realized it wasn't helping with the mental health or BP, and so have cut back a lot, but damn do I like a nice brewsky beer. Since starting the meds I've had the occasional beer out, but only 2 max and always with food.

Yeah i would keep it at that level. But i think the warning is just standard with any psychiatric medication
