i have fibro and recurrent depression. i have been very steady and upbeat since i started taking it. just not going to that totally dark place these days. i credit it w getting me through a drawn out divorce.

do toke as well, and also credit large amounts of that to getting me through the worst of the divorce.

my pain level has been really good, especially if i act my age. also take lyrica, and like the combo.
