I find this drug extremely helpful. Although anti-depression drugs usually need to build up to be truly effective, the morning after the first night I took it, I woke up feeling like a different person. Now I was still pretty low, but it at least seemed to drag me out of the bottomless black pit I had been living in. This isn't a miracle drug, I still live with some depression, but I perfectly able to function in life and I still feel like myself--not like some drugged up zombie.
