"since the age of 13 i&#039;ve been on antidepressants, fluoxetine, mirtazipine, lorazepam, citalopram. the list goes on. i&#039;m 25 now and i&#039;ve been on sertraline for the past two month after all the other medicines failed to lift my mood. its the first time in my life i&#039;ve ever felt free, to me this is a miracle. i can easily put up with the occasional side effects (nausea, insomnia) because i no longer wake up with suicidal thoughts or anxiety about leaving the house."
