I have been taking this for 7 years . My dr. perscribed it to take along with my zoloft, which I had been on for quite a number of years already. Now I am starting to feel like I'm "down" off and on, so he is thinking of changing one of the two, if not both. It scares me to change, but I don't like the lost feeling I am experiencing.

I have been on this medication for a little over ten years now. I am prescribed three mgs. a day. If I don't take them I will have extreme anxiety and even panic attacks. I found to take as prescribed instead of as needed, it is better to prevent a panic attack rather than have to wait for the medication to work in the middle of an attack! The only reason I gave three stars on effectiveness is due to most of the new generics, they don't seem to be as effective as the older ones such as the Tevas. In my opinion brand name works the best followed by the Tevas then the "m" followed by the worst which are the blue "v". I'm prescribed the one mg. tablets.
