depression
"I've suffered severe depression for the last 20 years. I've been on Zoloft, Paxil, Prozac, Wellbutrin, Effexor, Celexa, Cymbalta and Lexapro. My neurologist prescribed Pristiq 2 months ago. I recently told her at my follow-up visit, "For the first time in 20 years, life doesn't suck." I wake up in the morning well-rested. My mind is clear. When I go to bed at night, I'm actually tired (no more insomnia!) and I sleep really well. I used to be a stress eater; now I only eat when it's meal time and have less of an appetite. The only negative side effect for me has been constipation, but it's manageable. I had pretty much given up any kind of hope that feeling better was possible. I'm glad I was wrong!"
