"i&#039;ll start by telling you that i tried both celexa and lexapro. celexa did fairly well, but lexapro...that&#039;s a story for another time. i went to my doctor and told her i couldn&#039;t do lexapro anymore. she prescribed me venlafaxine. in all honesty, i could tell a difference within the first few days. my panic attacks were fewer and further between, and i felt the dark cloud lifting. i&#039;ve been on it for approximately two months now and haven&#039;t had any crazy side effects like i did with the other ssris. i suppose i&#039;m still in the trial phase but i have no reason to dislike it yet. a miracle pill? well, maybe.

that&#039;s not to say that i don&#039;t get depressed again every now and then, but i&#039;m generally content."
