In my case, it just limited the VERY extreme on the high end and a LOT of
extreme on the bottom end. I found that I was able to be happier when I
was off them. Realize that I don't suffer from *chronic* depression, so my
neurochemistry is necessarily different from someone who is.
In other words, my experience is pretty much irrelevant to yours. :)
