"well, i have been depressed the most of my life. not like i couldn&#039;t function, but just depressed like a normal state of mind. in 2011 i was on mirtzapine and in this year, my world changed. i started m own business and i builded my own cooperation. stress got me. i couldn&#039;t sleep without zopiclone or zolpidem to aid me. stress leaded to anxiety and depression. my doctor prescribed several benzodiazepines and allmost got addicted to these. one day he said: &quot;this is medicine for anxiety (sertraline). take these. it&#039;ll help you. the first two weeks (today) was unbearable with headache, rapid heart beats, strange thoughts, feeeling nausee, cold/warm-experinces, and i almost gave up. so glad i didn&#039;t, i am balanced, my thoughts are clear."
