"this medication was awful. despite only being 17 at the time so the doctor decided that i would be put on this medication for my depression i knew that there was a chance that this may cause my condition to deteriorate. i saw no improvements with the 10mg so my doctor increased this to 20mg. this is where it all went downhill. i developed full blown panic disorder as i was having several panic attacks a day so i was unable to go to school. the medication increased my suicidal thoughts to the point where i was not sleeping at night due to constantly thinking of ways to kill myself. one day i nearly did attempt suicide so i had to be assessed by a psychiatrist who put me on tranquilisers for a week then admitted me to a psychiatric unit."
