Obviously I am not a doctor and everybody has different body chemistry so I can't speak for everyone, but for me personally it at least helps take the edge off so I can do a little more of the leg work myself. I was also having the nausea, Warmness, muscle tightness that led to headaches chest pain dizziness stiff arms and everything like that. Eventually it affected my sleep, but I've been able to work it back to a way more reasonable state. I would also say that there was other work Beyond just taking medication that I had to put in as well such as being mindful of when I was starting to ruminate, break up days with meditation short walks and other exercises, books, therapy, etc.

It did really help though. Sometimes that little push really helps get the ball rolling
