It was the only antidepressant that was able to drag me out of the depths of a truly terrible depression. I took it with a mood stabiliser though as it's known for triggering mania in people with bipolar disorder if taken alone.
The withdrawal when I came off it was awful though. If you are going to come off it's really important to do it gradually and don't just stop (like I did).

	There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. There are those who, when presented with a glass that is exactly half full, say: 'This glass is half full'. And then there are those who say: 'This glass is half empty'. The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: 'What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass! Terry Pratchett
