My doctor once prescribed them for public speaking anxiety and they helped a lot. I only took them occasionally. They did make me feel tired.

Yes, I also have depression as well as anxiety but I haven't been too bad lately, to be honest. I just find that I always seem to feel depressed the day after taking them so try to take them as little as possible
