For Depression "A life-changing medication! I have tried almost every antidepressant out there, combinations, the works. I never realized how ineffective they were until now. I was on Prozac alone, and it wasn't doing anything but keeping me up at night. I was completely hopeless about two weeks ago. So hopeless I thought I needed to be committed. My psych doctor called this his 'nuclear weapon'. I didn't believe anything would help, but the difference is unbelievable. It does increase appetite, so I couldn't give it a 10, but this is one amazingly effective medication for me!"

For Bipolar Disorder "I tried several medicines before finding success with this one. My depression and mood swings are under control, and life is manageable. My friends and family tell me that I'm much more enjoyable to be around now. I feel that this medicine saved my life. The only negative effect it has is that I'm hungrier and have gained some weight. I've just had to make adjustments in my diet to eat healthy, but this is a good thing for my overall health too. I feel so great on this medicine that the negative effect is worth it."

For Major Depressive Disorder "So far, so good on Symbyax after only 4 days. My depression is not as prevalent, and I haven’t had anxiety. My medication specialist prescribed the 2 meds separately to save on costs. Instead of $200, I paid $17 for them separately. So far, I haven’t been overly hungry, but it’s still early. I only gave it an 8 because it’s still early, but I’ll revise my review in a month."

For Major Depressive Disorder "I have been on Symbyax for about 8 weeks now. The doctor upped my prescription to 6 mg/50 mg. It does make me eat all the time. I can't stop munching. This medication makes me feel a little better, but it didn't last very long. I'm slowly declining again. Zoloft seemed to work, but my doctor didn't think that was going to help me in the long run. I am having short-term memory loss due to extreme anxiety. The Symbyax seems to make it worse. I still don't know if I like it or not."
