"it took me a long time to realize that i had an issue with depression and finally talked to my doctor about it.  i have no excuse for depression, i have a wonderful life, two beautiful boys and a wonderful husband but i would get such an overwhelming sense of sadness that would just envelope me and i couldn&#039;t even smile.  not every day, not even all day.  i have been on this drug for a month now and what a difference. i don&#039;t get the sadness at all anymore and i&#039;m not as &#039;edgy&#039;.  it hasn&#039;t changed who i am but has allowed me to live my life.  i have been incredibly tired, but that could be due to illness and the other medicines i take for allergies and for raynaud&#039;s (lose feeling in my hands and feet in the cold)."
