Comment:
Began taking for post partum depression. I actually feel like myself again! This has been wonderful. I no longer snap at the smallest mishap or have panic attacks in an overcrowded store. I did experience a small weight gain but like anything else with the proper diet and exercise it is manageable.

Comment:
Worked well initially when I started taking it about 4 yrs ago. Kept me from suicide. Both my parents died last year, and again, I don't think I could have made it without the med plus supportive friends. But for the past 6-8 months I don't think it's working as well. I'm on 150mg, which I think is pretty high already.
