Don't be scared, just aware, as you are!

Try it at the top dose the doc wants you on... if it fades out then, forget it. People who are hypersensitive DO respond sooner than the drug companies plan. Not all medical doctors know this! (an allergist does)

Sometimes when we are sensitive to certain meds (because of where they work in the brain) this happens. Something like the body "surrounds" it or such, and stops the effects? Aw I don't think I'm saying this very well. When I run into a med that acts like this (and Wellbutrin was one) it was increased till I had a paradoxical reaction and I became more depressed, But as soon as I stopped it, I became better.

Sounds like you need a good pharmacist to explain each of the different depression meds, ssri and such... esp the new ones, so you know which categories to stay away from in the future when the newer ones come out. You can also read the fine print papers that come with the packages. Boring, but good info.
