"for the past few years i have been suffering from severe anxiety and depression, when my doctor put me on 0.5 mg i didn&#039;t know if it would help or not, but in just a month or 2, my life has changed a lot for the better. i&#039;ve been more self confident, and going out more. it really does help. as people have mentioned before take the lowest dosage that suits you. it really is a great treatment for anxiety. though everyone is different, if you&#039;re running out of options you should definitely ask your doctor about it!"
