In 2011, I abruptly stopped taking this drug after about 3 straight years. I'd lost a lot of weight but didn't like who I'd become. I resumed about 3 months ago (spring 2016) and lost only some weight this time. I have a cold right now, so I stopped taking it so it wouldn't interfere with the cold medicine. To my ASTONISHMENT, before I came online to research this, I wrote a suicide note to my daughter and my mother with every intention of ending my life tonight! While writing, I realized the last time I'd been like this was also when I stopped taking this drug. I will being weaning myself immediately. TERRIFYING!

* Warning: The facts and figures contained in these reports are accurate to the best of our capability; however, our metrics are only meant to augment your medical knowledge, and should never be used as the sole basis for selecting a new medication. As with any medical decision, be sure to work with your doctor to ensure the best choices are made for your condition.

* About FAERS: The FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) is used by FDA for activities such as looking for new safety concerns that might be related to a marketed product, evaluating a manufacturer's compliance to reporting regulations and responding to outside requests for information. Reporting of adverse events is a voluntary process, and not every report is sent to FDA and entered into FAERS. The FAERS database may contain duplicate reports, the report quality is variable, and many factors may influence reporting (e.g., media attention, length of time a drug is marketed, market share). For these reasons, FAERS case reports cannot be used to calculate incidence or estimates of risk for a particular product or compare risks between products.
