"i am on day 3 and i am starting to notice some if not all of the effects. my mood is stabilising and i am finding my motivation returning to me. i need it for when i get into my doctoral program! i can find pleasure in things i enjoy again. i don&#039;t have overtly pessimistic and sad thoughts as much. i&#039;m not crying as much. before i started taking this medicine i was not at rock bottom, but i did not want to feel like awful anymore. depression is a real disease. the medications do help."
