Hi I was on setraline 200 daily for 5 months it sets u back at 1st but then it does help alot I just found after 5 months I needed something stronger but initially it did help so definitely give it a try to start with if u feel u really need something . I am a huge believer tho that if u can do it without medication it is much better for u wish u good luck x

You can only try it, give it a chance to settle into your system. I don't know much about it, maybe ask the others about the side effects at the start so you are prepared for it 👍🏼
