Odd about insomnia as everything I've read from anecdotes on drugs.com says it seems to help sleep (or one side effect is fatigue). I think I'm sleeping a little bit heavier but I'm also just off an MAOI so could be rebound REM.
Thanks for the insight.
Random Sexual Side "effect" note:
One other thing I wanted to mention is that it really seems to have decreased my time to orgasm. Like to the point of making me feel like I'm having a premature ejaculation. In the past (pre-medication) I had a difficult time orgasming during sex. I'll see if this continues but I did find this study which suggests 5ht2c could be at play w/ time to ejaculation: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2721550/
It's odd to me how drugs approved for "weight loss" are stigmatized somewhat. I mean if Topamax was first tried for weight loss (and approved as Qsaymia as it's now also marketed) would people have been against trying it for psychologic conditions?
