I've been taking it for a while and it doesn't do shit for me. My doctor is kind of full of shit. Yes, he has medical knowledge I don't have, but he, like the psychiatric care system, fails to take into account that environmental factors can make people depressed, and no amount of pills is a substitute for facing one's problems. I'm fairly certain he's milking shit for money. Last year he said "we're going to have you off by the spring," and then he said the same shit this year. I called him out for it, and the dose got cut in half.
