> "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.

Hi: Can you tell me what type of depression you have or why the doctor put you on Manerix? I'm having a rough time finding another med that will work like Prozac worked for me when I first started taking it. I've tried others but none have lifted the depression.Karen
