"i&#039;ve been taking 20 mg for 4 days. it&#039;s been 4 of the most bizarre days of my life.  i take the medicine around 6pm, feel good until i go to sleep, and then wake up with extreme anxiety around 3 am.  i then fall back asleep and struggle to accomplish anything at work the following day. i am unable to say a word to anyone in the office and just stare blankly for 8 hrs. 



prior to depression/anxiety, i was a top performer at an aerospace company living in a beautiful house.  i have been relegated to living at home, being a bottom feeder at work.  despite experiencing death and major losses depression has easily been the singlemost crippling experience of my life.



hoping this turns around"
