"i&#039;m 19 years old and had been struggling with depression since i was a kid. i was against antidepressants all my life until i went off on my freshman year of college out of state and found it impossible to control my emotions. i became suicidal, and was thinking about trying illegal drugs. finally i told the school counselor that i needed help. she diagnosed me with mild depression and prescribed 20mg every day. i&#039;ve been on it for a bit over a month and my life has changed. my emotions are reasonable and under control, i&#039;m much more agreeable, energetic and optimistic. side effects from the first two weeks were: dry mouth, excessive yawning, insomnia, and a bit of anxiety/hyperactivity. still have decreased sex drive though."
