"the worst decision i have ever made was agreeing to go on this drug. i had no idea about ssri&#039;s and the effects they can have on you and your life. for the first year, i would have recommended it to anyone dealing with depression and anxiety like myself..but that was at a time when i mistaked the numbness for satisfaction. just over 2 years down the line and i am falling apart. this drug has ruined my life. first i realised the fog i was in. then came the vertigo and confusion. my memory has deteriorated. zero sex drive since day one. my depression has worsened and i no longer recognise who i am anymore. my personality has changed drastically and my anxiety is worse than its ever been. i am now weaning off it but the damage has been done."
