for me it was like a miracle. I was on meds for anxiety for many years and it really did help. If the first you try doesn't work, don't be afraid to try again or try different kinds of meds in combination, keep your doctor informed of problems or side effects you might find difficult. If one kind of med doesn't work, there are many others that might. there is no reason anybody should suffer with anxiety and or depression with so many available options today. Keep us posted!
