"i am 34 years old and have suffered from depression and anxiety/panic attacks, low self esteem, fear of life in general, for as long as i can remember.  i finally hit rock bottom and decided to get help for myself after having serious panic attacks while driving with my children in the car and nearly having a major accident.  i became to afraid to leave my house.  after going on to fluoxetine, (20g a day) i started feeling better after two weeks.  i have my life back and feel normal at last. my mind is quiet now and i can breath, i can sleep, i can sit and relax.  i feel like a grown up at last and never want to ever feel the way i did for so many years again.  just to think it took me so long to help myself, i will never look back!"
