"i took it due to depression and obsessive%u2013compulsive disorder. i am not quite sure if it is the solution to my problems. it makes me feel apathic (30 mg/day) and has some initial side effects such as thirst, loss of sexual interest and fatigue. it took weeks and months to feel the positive effects, so i am not sure if these can be related to the medicine itself. what merely helped me cope with my disease was psychotherapy (by myself and my therapist). this means that i looked for more information about my disease and its origins and tried to understand it.
