"i&#039;ve been on this for a year at 20mg and am so happy i chose to do so.  i was so down; couldn&#039;t sleep, not present in the moment, constantly worrying, etc.  i was very skeptical of any ssri and prefer to go &quot;natural&quot; so i resisted.  over a year later i feel like i have a new lif, a better future, am a better employee, spouse, parent, etc.   

i suggest using an &quot;all the above&quot; approach as part of a strategy to combat depression.  involve a good counselor who has similar values, exercise, eat well, rest, be around supportive people, do something spiritual consistently.  i did this and my world changed for the better.  i hope it is sustainable."
