I was on it briefly for anxiety/depression/PTSD. It actually worked pretty well for me, but it gave me horrific side effects, including permanent psoriatic skin problems on my face, so I had to stop taking it. I'm very treatment resistant, so I was really disappointed. I started seeing improvements within a couple weeks. I'm off meds completely now, and I'm managing my symptoms with diet/supplements, exercise, acupuncture, and therapy. I highly recommend all those things along with any meds you're on. (And don't take that as saying you shouldn't be on meds... I was on meds for about 10 years, and it saved my life.)

I took it a couple times and had a psyhcotic episode that took a while to come back from. I don't think my experience is typical though.
