Hi.
I have been on Cipramil since the start of October.
I went to see a doctor off the Beyond Blue site and at the first session he put me straight onto it, and over 2 months each time I have reported an issue he has increased. I am now on the highest dose.
I have random sweating, body twitches, ongoing fatigue, mood swings, and feel indifferent. Yes I am less axious but I feel worse off. Not unhappy but tired, and I have gained 5kg in 2 months, from54-59kg. which is annoying as hardly any clothes fit.
So I got a 2nd opinion this week and that doctor review my comments with a prof who said get off it - I am having symptoms of a Serotonin syndrom and the meds having a toxic effect which is really serious. So now I have to phase off. So BE CAREFUL.

Summary: Be careful and get more than one medical opinion, plus watch side effects.
