I took this medication for three months after my divorce. I was having panic attacks and could not stop crying and totally distraught. After three months I felt like my old self and was able to discontinue the medication. I have't neede it since. In my opinion it was a life saver.

My life has and attitude have improved tremendously. I feel noticably less anxious and irritable. The only downside is if you happen to run out. Don't.

Also, watch out for Pristiq, it has extreme mood affects & can make you suicidal.
