Sounds cheesy, but it's true. I've been on 75mg for just over a month now and I'm a totally different person. :D
I unlike many others can't compare myself to an 'old self' because I've suffered since I was a young teenager, I'm 21 now and finally feel I can start living my life properly.
I'm happy in work, it's easier seeing friends, I've joined a gym and I feel ready for a relationship.
I know it might not last forever, and I know the dark cloud of mood swings and depression may settle over me again one day, I now live in the present, not the past or future.
I feel glad to be alive, and I couldn't be happier!
I'm seeing my doctor on Monday and I can't wait to tell him how the tablets have helped me. Some people may find it strange or even wrong that all it takes and what it takes for me to live life is 1 small tablet each morning. But I don't care, I've come to accept I may be on some form of medication now for the rest of my life. However if the rest of my life is as good, or even better than it is now, I'm happy to take it.
Long winded but I felt I had to get it out to some people who could appreciate it and that there is hope out there, even I didn't believe that a few months ago!
