> "I would love to know if anyone has any experience of coming off Manerix. I have just tried for the 3rd time to come off this drug. My psych suggested cutting by half a tablet every two days. After 10 days I was experiencing nightly vivid dreams and just feeling 'not right' so have now very reluctantly gone back on it again."

> Hi Melissa. I am currently taking Manerix and I really like it. If you have never taken an SSRI, you might be disappointed with it, but then again you might not. I was taking Celexa, but found I was very tired. Since switching to Manerix I no longer have the dreaded SSRI apathy. I also don't have the muscle tension since switching to Manerix. When I was on Celexa, someone could've hit me in the head and I wouldn't have reacted to it. It was quite strange. I now have emotions again, which I missed.

> Manerix so far has been good for me. I feel closest to "normal" on this drug than Celexa. It has definitely given me more energy and that helps me with anxiety. I feel much more anxious when I am tired and overwhelmed.

> Could you not just take an ativan or xanax when the anxiety is too bad? I found that on Celexa I still had to take an ativan every once and a while. And even on Manerix I still have to pop an ativan every now and again.

> I wish you good luck and let me know how it goes.Just found your posting and was wondering if you're still taking the Manerix and if its still working well for you. I have dysthymic depression and am trying to find the best meds to take.
Thanks, Karen
