@wendymykkanen Hello,
Yes, this is the same medication. I have been on it for 18 years, but it has damaged my liver. I have no choice but to come off it. Other than fatigue and some weight gain, it didn't really cause me any problems. Now, the withdrawal symptoms are terrible and scary! My anxiety is higher than it's ever been.
