"i&#039;ve been on antidepressants from the old style to the newer ssri&#039;s, snri&#039;s and others and nothing worked. my doctor suggested methylin er and my depression lifted in two days and i haven&#039;t had a relapse. it&#039;s been about a year now and i&#039;m still as happy as can be. i don&#039;t sleep for 12 hours or more anymore either. i can wake fully rested with 8 hours sleep and do anything my heart desires. methylin er is truly amazing and i&#039;ll never go back to an antidepressant as long as this keeps working."
