"i suffer depression and post traumatic stress, anxiety, suicidal thoughts ruled my life for the last 7 years. i was prescribed lexapro and although initially it helped me, it didn&#039;t make me feel that life was worth living so i went off them about 18 months ago. i didn&#039;t hold too much trust in doctor&#039;s abilities to &quot;fix&quot; me either, but i had to visit a doctor recently before i finally went through with just giving up on everything that i found overwhelming. the doctor prescribed me pristiq 50mg and i owe either the doctor or the makers of this drug for saving my life.  this tablet has sorted out my head. i don&#039;t have constant thoughts and stresses running through my mind all day long, i can finally breathe and enjoy my life again. good luck to you all."
