"i&#039;m writing this for all the people that are about to give up hope.. it took me 3 years to find the right medication.. okay im not 100%yet but i&#039;m getting there. please do not give up hope.  i&#039;ve tryed 5 diff types of antidepressents which all had bad side effects &amp; when that keeps happening it makes you want to give up. i was not going to try another type  for months because i thought they was useless.then i tried esclitalopram and it saved my life and my sons. it really did. i was in a dark horrible place.my issues was mainly anxiety which then turned into depression, the tablets lifted my mood within around 4 weeks  which then abled me to take steps in overcoming my anxiety, 6months later i&#039;m feeling so much better......you can get through this x"
