"i&#039;ve been on this drug for four years, and i will admit, it did help me out at first. i was deeply depressed and going through some major life changing situations. as this calmed down and i developed spiritually, emotionally and mentally, i gradually decreased the dose. i was on 100mg the first year, the second year, 50mg, the third, 25mg, and the fourth, 12.5mg (cutting the 25mg pill in half.) 
i just got off of it two days ago, and i feel like a new person. i had no idea how much it tampered with my mind. i was in a fog for four years. although i&#039;m sleep deprived, achy, and irritable from the withdrawals (this med&#039;s withdrawals are heinous) i feel better than i have in four years. i do not recommend this drug- save your mind!"
