Is this normal?

I know they are awful things. A few years ago i was on them for a couple of months. Just try and give it another few days or a week and if u still feel **** maybe you could try a different tablet. I was on zoloft and they knocked me around a bit. My main complaint was they completly shut off my libido which didnt make for happy times inthe bedroom. But after a few months on them i weaned off and felt really good. They seemed to help me. But im not sure a bout long term. I hope they make things better for you. Sounds like you are having a rough time at the moment. The main thing is you have to take care of yourself. Hope some of that helps.

Unfortunately this is normal for some meds

It took me about 2 weeks to feel a change and boy it was a lovely change. I've been on anti-D's for 8 years now and FOR ME it's been an absolute lifesaver (no joke)

I hope you start to feel some benefit soon, I'm here for a chat any time if you wanna PM me to chat

i asked for them as a friend also told me they were good...she said know....she told me alot of Dr's dont prescribe them anymore as they can have a different affect on some people & even make them angry.

I spose cause I've been on them so long Drs don't have a problem with giving me my repeats. But if people are having adverse reactions then maybe it's better that Drs arent prescibing them willy nilly

I took anti depressants- Im off them now as Im pregnant I took Luvox and for me they made me sick for the first 2 weeks.....as with any medication the waiting period is 2 weeks for your system to get used to them...so ull just have to ride it out unfortunatly!!

Good luck
