"started taking for depression , works stops my irrational temper tantrums. i have been on it for 2 years. i was also a heavy drinker ( bottle and half wine a night for 20 years) but after taking this drug for 3 weeks  i stopped drinking and i haven&#039;t had a drink for 2 years, no withdrawal or craving for alcohol . i feel and look good for my age despite struggling with the menopause and a under active thyroid. it works , you may loose a bit of weight to begin with but the appetite does come back to normal . i would not say i am happy but then life circumstances can take their toll if your depressed or not but i certainly function well, stay sober and i have hope in the future.

only downside is i cannot get off them."
