" I'm on it... mood swings like a bugger at first, but things are settling down... still have swings, but my overall general mood has improved. Overall, it's done me some good. "

" Well, personally I think it's doing me no good - Ican't handle things on any kind of drug like prozac, citalopram etc. I get very mood swingy,even more depressed etc

My doctor thinks I should give it another month or so. Been on it for 3. It affects everyone differently though x "
