> I feel fantastic!! I have suffered from the effects of depression for too long - years. I had tried many treatments and nothing worked. Eventually I started to drink very heavily because it seemed to relieve the awful emptiness inside (or so I thought). I have been sober now for 18 months!! I have been miserable for a long time. I had tried Paxil, Wellbutrin, Remerom & Serzone to no avail. I went to counseling sessions, tried to meditate and pray for relief, but I consistly found myself unable to function in this world. I always felt that I couldn't cope with anything that life brought my way (good or bad) and I didn't ever want to socialize. I just wanted to crumble away and lay in bed. Trying to focus or concentrate on any task was impossible. I also felt this anger & irritation at almost everything and everyone. At times it would feel that everything was always "happening to me" all time. Nothing was ever humorous. I did not care about anything - I knew I should care, but because I was so unable to react to anything in life I just couldn't or didn't function like I used to years ago. Just over 3 months ago I started to take 150mg of Zoloft. This drug has changed my life. I thought there was no hope left!! I feel fantastic and realize that I haven't felt well for years. I feel like how I did when I was a kid!!! I am focused, I look forward to everything the day brings to me, I feel positive and able to cope.

> The best is that I feel consistently the same everyday - no up n downs!! There is hope!!! If this should all end tommorrow I will at least be extremely grateful for the reprieve!!! So far I haven't gained a pound and I am able to have a fairly decent orgasm!! I wanted to share this because there is hope!!! Thanks for listening to me!!! Oh and by the way my husband told me the best thing that in the world has happened to him - that he gets to hear laughter once again from the person who means everything in the world to him!!! He thought I would never be the same again, but he held out hope and supported me well. That support has meant the world to me, especially when I knew he couldn't always relate to what I was going thru. It is wonderful to be loved!!!

CT, I'm very happy for you! Keep laughing and smiling!!!
