Thought maybe someone might want to hear from someone who's been on it for a while. This medication is called cipralex in Canada. I started taking it in August of 2005. It was the first medication that really helped at all with my depression for more than just a very short time.I take it in combination with desipramine and it doesn't completely eliminate my symptoms but it keeps me from being suicidal and helps me to do the other things like exercise, not isolate, etc that keep me healthier than I was. I still have my ups and downs, but don't get as down as I was before. It has definitely helped me with no major side effects - some tiredness.

Cipralex totally changed my way of thinking. I think more rationally and cleary. The panic attacks have almost disappeared. I like the drug because I can still cry on! It doesn't make me a living, talking and breathing zombie.
I just want to be happy and healthy. Nothing more, nothing less!
Been on it for a year and a half
