"It's my 3rd day, and I feel calmer. My mind is at ease, not overthinking, and it makes me sleepy most of the time. So now I'm trying to drink strong coffee with it, and it wakes me up, with calmer thinking. But I would wish it doesn't make me sleepy, due to driving a lot for a living, and so kind of hard, but it works. I have 10 mg. I've been having anxiety and depression."

"Not good for me. Still felt like rubbish, had an attempt, then they switched me off, panic attacks, anxiety, all of that. Try it though, it might work for you. It just didn’t for me."

"After trying Vilazodone (Viibryd), which gave me brain zaps, insomnia, and hallucinations, and Escitalopram (Lexapro), which did absolutely nothing, Fluoxetine (Prozac) works at 10 mg and has no side effects for me."
