"i have been dealing with severe anxiety and depression for 16 years and it keeps getting worse and worse. i have no drive or ambition, lost my girl friend and job came to an end. it finally made me realize that i have to do something about this problem. i have been totally against medicines and have always disregarded mental illness but i now think it is mental illness that has put me in this terrible place. i have started taking celexa 10 (20mg) days ago and am so excited to see the results. i have not noticed much response yet but i am generally less negative and have more excitement for things that i once loved."
