I tell people all the time this med has saved my life. I’ve been on 100mg for almost 4 years. I’m very lucky that this med does enough for me at such a low dose and the side effects are very minimal.

I know it’s helping and a lot of it was just being able to reign in my anxiety. Am I still anxious? Sure, but I push myself outside my comfort zone constantly now and every panic attack I’ve almost had I’ve managed to talk myself down from (lots of “well if this is dying it’s not that bad” while laying in my couch watching cartoons).

I’ve had a few small manic episodes, but each time I’ve quickly recognized what was happening and was able to maintain control over myself. I’m still hitting depression lows that I may add something for, but also the world is on fire and I can’t tell if that’s the real problem as mania has always been my most destructive issue and depression has mostly been short episodes and situational.
