I used from march to oct 3 years ago. It took about a year to get thru the severe depression after and for the fear, paranoia, anxiety etc to dissapate. I went thru counseling for that year along with finding a good antidepressant for me. After 3 years I still have mild bouts of depression the occasional flashback, fear,anxiety attack from the trauma, abuse and drug. Now I can recognize it and deal with it. Have minor short term memory problems but other than than that it seems I get more nervous type problems than before so have to watch the caffeine intake. I'm very healthy otherwise...got to the gym regulary. I can now laugh at some of the weird things that happened.... I think I threw out most of the electronic equipment in the house ...I'm glad those smoke detectors did'nt have cameras in them. I'm glad to be alive to care for my children and I still have all my teeth:)
