My experiences are very like 808Lion's.....When I was suffering from a bout of depression some years back I was given Serzone, an AD....It took about 6 weeks for me to start feeling more like myself. It was like slowly coming out of a dark tunnel into light. Gradual....I'd have more and more good days than bad....Until finally a few years later I was able to give them up completely. I had not adverse sight effects....

I still suffer from anxiety and I take low doses of Xanax for that. The Xanax offers relief in about 30-60 minutes. Xanax doesnt "cure" the anxiety, but it take the "edge" off.....I am able to think more clearly, the obssesive worry subsides and I dont have that "feeling of impending doom" hanging over my head when I take it....I have no adverse effects from that either....and my sleep has been vastly improved.....
