"i have suffered with depression for 5 years now and over those years have tried citalopram, fluoxetine and now sertraline. i can&#039;t stress how great sertraline has made me feel. i have lost over a stone in weight in the past month because i have felt so much better in myself. i have been on them since august 2011 and i feel much more relaxed, less panicky and a lot more lively. i finally feel like me again, and i&#039;m loving it! no side effects except for weight loss."
