"i reluctantly started this medication a year ago after trying to deal with depression on my own.  after i began taking it i had some mild side effects (intense dreams, tiredness) but they subsided after about a month.  the good effects started at that point, i now feel stable, content and don&#039;t let things and people get to me like before.  it gives me the ability to make bad thoughts simply evaporate from my thought process.  i recommend this medicine to anyone who feels the destructive effects of depression like i did, but give it time to work, stick with it and it will change your life.
