I take it for pain & IBS management. At such a low dose (10 mg at night), it doesn't actually do anything for depression or mood -- that's what my doctor told me. She said I'd have to take at least 4 times that dose. She also said that it's not the best drug to treat depression nowadays, since there are newer and more effective meds. I haven't had any side effects except for sleepiness -- but I take it at night to help me sleep so that's a plus. I've been on it since March '06. Overall, it's really helped with IBS and nerve pain from lupus and I'm glad I started taking it. (FYI, I'm also on Buspar for anxiety and another med for lupus.)

There was a long discussion about this in the Living Room recently and there's been discussions about this in the past, so you might want to do a search. You should find a good variety of people's opinions and experiences.

Best of luck with this med!
