Major Depressive Disorde
"I technically have bipolar II disorder and I&#039;m a rapid-cycler, but most of the time I experience crippling depression. I take this along with Trileptal to curb any possible hypomanic side effects. I took a genetic test and this showed up on my list of drugs that were okay to take. I&#039;m on 25 mg, which is technically a starter dose but I&#039;ve found that it&#039;s more than plenty to help with my symptoms. 



Within the first couple of days, my depressive thinking (intrusive thoughts, suicidal thoughts, paranoia, etc.) and daily panic attacks went down to basically nothing. I have relatively low energy still, but it sure beats feeling suicidal and anxious all the time. The only side effects I have is constipation and if I take it too late, insomnia."
