Everything works different for every person. I would get severe panic attacks, so they gave me that. I found it worked for a little while. Then stopped working. Talked to my dr. Most are supposed to take it once a day. They doubled my amount, and made me take it twice a day (so 4 times total amount per day). If your depression/anxiety worsens, contact a doctor ASAP.

I'd started taking it in the early 90's. It did wonders for me -- for a while. I did have some loss of libido, but I was staying away from relationships at that time anyway, and I was just grateful it was helping me stay lucid enough to deal with some serious issues. But after a while it stopped working for me, and I went off of it... Tried a few other things for a while, nothing worked again until I started with Zoloft; it's wonderful, and no libido loss, either!

Started taking it 40 yrs ago b/c depression/anxiety.
First prescribed when I was working as a bartender in the RCAF & a loud mouth got on my nerves. I went around & decked him which resulted in being charged.
Now use it mainly instead of sleeping pills when necessary. Also when I overdo the booze it helps me taper off. And some days if I feel that I'm wound too tight I take one.
Never abused it & don't think I ever took more than 2 in one day.

every antidepressant i've ever used has exacerbated my restless leg syndrome.
