"i take prestiq for anxiety (first) &amp; depression. i don&#039;t know what the true definition of &quot;normal&quot; is but, this is the closest i&#039;ve felt to it in quite some time.  my most recent attempt of feeling &quot;normal&quot; was with 8 years/ lexapro. my concentration level was on point &amp; my anxiety level was low but,  the zombie like feel, the lack of sex drive &amp; weight gain eventually drove me to find an alternative. after several failed attempts with various other options, i can say that prestiq has proven to disprove most, if not all, of my concerns. yes,  i still get fiery mad at times (with good reason) but, it&#039;s controllable. yes, i still get sad/anxious but,  there are tangible reasons &amp; i am now able to pull myself out a lot sooner."
