"was put on this last year after a bad break up which caused my low level functioning depression to turn into a near breakdown. first couple of weeks were so rough, very anxious and weepy, agitated and impossible to relax. after that i can honestly say it resulted in the best year of my life. i was relaxed and happy, and realised i&#039;d been anxious for years which was probably causing the depression. i even went to a festival alone and had an amazing time, which would have been impossible before. i came travelling to australia in february and came off the meds without speaking to my doctor, because i thought i was &#039;better&#039;. i didn&#039;t realise how much they were doing for me, and in the last five months i have got worse. started again today."
