The first time I took Stablon I noticed an anxiolytic effect for the first day or two, followed by a stimulant effect (as if I was full of adrenaline all day) and headache. On day 12 I felt my mood begin to lift and gradually the jitters disappeared and I felt great.
The antidepressant effect pooped out in the long term, so I had to increase the dose. I took it for five years and quit in April but feel worse now so I think Stablon did work.
It definitely helped my anxiety moreso than depression, but also caused some apathy, sudden sleepiness and lowered libido.
I didn't realize it was lowering my libido until I quit it.. then my libido came back about twice as strong as it was before.
I don't care about my libido though. I'd rather be in a good mood and have a low libido than be depressed and anxious with an intact sex drive.
