I never felt like I was truly depressed.. I had bouts that passed. This time it wasnt passing and I knew something was wrong. This just helped me take a load off my shoulders. Im happy now.

I was on it for 9 years for depression and recently worked my way off it. That when i discovered I had fibro so then i went back on a very low dose just so I could maintain a little. Works great for pain but I dont like what it does to me mentally. It flat lines all human emotion.
