I've been taking Fetzima 120mg for about three months now, and I've seen some mixed results. The extended-release capsule is convenient, as I only have to take it once a day. It has helped improve my mood and overall well-being, which is great. I've noticed that it's helped with my anxiety symptoms as well. However, I've experienced some side effects that have been a bit concerning. I've had some constipation and excessive sweating, which were mentioned as potential side effects but I didn't take them seriously enough. Also, I have had a bit of a headache, which could be a sign of low sodium levels. I've been trying to stay hydrated and watch my diet to see if that helps. Has anyone else had similar experiences? I'm also concerned about the potential for serotonin syndrome. I'm taking this medication along with another antidepressant, and I'm wondering if there's a risk of developing this condition. I'd appreciate any insights or advice from others who have had experience with Fetzima.
