User Reviews for Fetzima oral

I started taking 20 mg. At first everything was okay. Then moved up to 40 mg. and started getting worse. I was sweating all the time, ringing in my ears, along with major mood swings. I was asked to try one more time and am still sweating all the time. Major mood swings are still a problem. I'm fine one minute than I am really angry and upset over something than normally wouldn't bother me. I just can't take this medicine so hope I can find something that will help. I have been on so many different meds over the years.Read More Read Less

I started on 20mg, then went to 40mg. It helped my depression a lot. Almost making me manic. Which wasn't good. Backed it down to 20 mg. Noticed major pain in muscles and joints. Especially in my feet and hands. I also had a rash develop on my hand and had an itching sensation all over my body. I am usually mild mannered but felt like I was angry at everything and like I was ready to scream at everyone on this medicine. It did make me undepressed but the side effects were unfavorable.

I am sensitive to medications and have found that 20 mg of Fetzima is enough for me. It has helped me get out of my shell and participate in life again. I think that a low dose can be very effective. other medications such as effexor and wellbrutin caused anxiety.

Tried Brintellix samples for a month and it made me sick to my stomach with no improvement. Then I waited two weeks and started Fetzima. World of difference. I have so much energy and enjoy life again. Wish I would have started this first.

Very irritable and short tempered since I started 10 days ago.

tingling all over broke out in a rash itching got mad for no reason at all wanted to hurt someone only taken for 3 days

Have had major anxiety/panic and depression since 1997. I've been prescribed numerous meds over the years and got no relief. Started Fetzima about 2 months ago. Depression and anxiety have lowered greatly. I am more talkative and interactive with others. I am grateful to my Dr for finding this and that it works. Nothing else did.

Previously on Cymbalta since 2008. This drup is causing me irritability issues. Hard to hold back; reactive.

I have suffered from anxiety and IBS-C for the past 21 years. I weaned off of Lexapro 20 mg/day and tried Fetzima. Immediately, I got the worse side effects for my IBS. I suffered from lots of gas, constipation, and felt agitated. Once I got to 40 mg 2x/day, I didn't improve. I then started suffering from insomnia. I guess it helped with anxiety, but I couldn't tell because I was so focused on my IBS. I am no longer on it. It just didn't make me feel good overall and just switched to Zoloft.

I am experiancing anger, frustration, anxiety

I have been on this medication for about a month. I have been on anit depressants for years. A medication will work for a time and then seems to lose it effects. Hoping that is not the case here. Up till now no serious side effects. Once again able to get out of bed, go to work and deal with everyday activities. I was in jeopardy of losing my job. That is no longer the case.

Was on Cymbalta for years, stopped working. Was on Fetzima for 10 days, and had rapid pulse, higher blood pressure, irritable mood, nightmares. Tapering off to switch to Brentillix.

Having joint pain and problems sleeping.

Extreme agitation,irratation.Angry,aggressive. Very disappointed in this medication.Doc is now tapering me off of it to another medication.

I developed a rash about 2 weeks after starting Fetzima, I also developed joint pain. My doctor is now tapering me off the Fetzima.

Broke out in an all over body rash with this product. Do not know what is in it that I am allergic to but now off of it and going through treatments to take care of rash. Caution using medicine.
