u.s.a.
bizarrely, the few meds that I have had helpful effects from tend to get taken off the market or blackboxed, strange.

a lot of these people seem to feel positively about it like I and also didnt like trad'l ssris or snris, they seem to be mostly taking it for psych stuff but I figure psych/med are all sides of same coin. nefazadone less propensity for wt gain and sex dysfunction, helps headaches etc

I have used it. Unfortunately, I only had a gram total to work with. I found it paradoxically stimulating when taken in the evening at 100 mg, so I would try a low dose at 50 mg in the morning. It's similar to an SSRI and amphetamine simultaneously, which is in line with its mechanism.
