"i&#039;d never thought about depression until i happened to read a psychology case study. i read about a person that could have been myself. i wasn&#039;t feeling sad or suicidal, but i had no energy, self-control and the only way to get me to do something was negative motivation. i had gotten to the point where i rarely bathed, missed work as often as i possibly could without getting fired, couldn&#039;t even make myself go to the store when i needed something. when i started taking the 150mg xl i started to have good days during the second week, and after being on the 300mg for a couple months now i feel like a new person. so much more energy, motivation, etc."
