Yeah, but when I can't leave the house I am so sick on the side effects that NO ONE hardly ever gets with whatever med of choice, I'll stay depressed, thanks.
Some things you can't "wait" to get better on, and with the side effects I was having (hallucinations, short term memory loss, food poisoning like symptoms where I moved into the bathroom for 3 days) my pdoc said to stop each of the meds. I was told THESE SYMPTOMS ARE NOT NORMAL...not like that wasn't obvious...and would not improve.) And he is focusing on "fixing" my depression, not my OCD, but he would like to help my anxiety and OCD as well.
We have tried so many my pdoc had given up...I don't blame him for this, I am impossible to medicate with drugs used for depression.

the 3 side effects you mention are quite common, memory lose, diarrhoea , seem like food poisoning, and hallucinations. I have major memory lose, constipation , and terror night mares every night, thats why I don't go to bed till 2 am. BBBBBBBBut I don't have depression so I put up with the s***
