Missing a couple days without taking the medication will make you feel dizzy, almost making you feel a bit drunk or buzzed. Try not to forget taking it, otherwise it defeats the purpose of taking the medication in the first place. If you do happen to skip, make sure your not skipping more than one night--withdrawls get worse as each day passes.

I take it for anxiety and it works very well. It can make you sleepy/groggy/'messed up' . The only complaint I have is the sexual side effects, but it's not that big of a deal. I tried to go off it a while back (thinking I could deal with anxiety) going off was no problem, no withdrawl or anything. But the panic attacks started coming back so I had to start again.
