Yes, I am. My experience has been overwhelmingly good but it took a while to adjust my meds. I have an antidepressant and an antipsychotic (prescribed off label) and my life has completely changed

@Susie how long did it take till you saw a difference? My life is just ruled by anxiety and I’m over it!

Only a few days to weeks. In the beginning it was probably just the "placebo"- effect, you know, being better because I KNEW I was finally being helped. But gradually I saw a decrease in symptoms and became a much better person for it

I was on them for anxiety and it was the best thing I ever did! I tried a few different types and only one made me feel worse, but when I found the right one it was so worth it xx

I have BD and medicine has changed my life. Was even hospitalized with mania and insomnia and they gave me the right meds. If your depression and anxiety are really bad, don’t hesitate to talk to your doctor.

I've been given pronalolol as an anxiety medication, which didn't work for me either. I mentioned it to the GP, and they asked me what antidepressants I wanted. I never took them before, so I didn't know how to choose. They recommend me citalopram 10mg. Going on 2 years since I've started taking it, and I can definitely see the difference in myself. I can control my emotions and function normally. For me, it worked from the second day I took it.
