Venlafaxine
major depressive disorde
"I'm currently 18 years old, 8 months ago I had to leave my college due to alcoholism. I started drinking around a year ago because I found out my grandfather had a 30 year affair with a different woman whilst he was working away. He had kids with her and it devastated me as I never knew my father and always looked up to him because he was the only male role model I had. I've been on numerous anti-depressants since that time and this is the only one that allows me to leave the house and experience the beauty of life. I'm moving away from my hometown next month with my mother to a bigger place with lots of supportive relatives. I'm looking forward to a new environment and returning to college to resume studies. I'm now off alcohol."
