I take 40mg/day. At the beginning, I had terrible, up-all-night insomnia and eventually started taking ativan and trazadone for sleep, but after a time the insomnia went away along with all of the other side-effects (except dry mouth). My dreams are no different from the way I dreamed before and most of my life.
SSRIs never did much for depression but I didn't really have any side effects after the start-up period (initially had nausea and insomnia). The only AD that wiped me out and made me fatigued was, paradoxically, wellbutrin.
