This is my first experience of taking an antidepressant so I'm not sure what is meant to happen and what isn't. I wasn't troubled by the side effects, they were mild and only very temporary.I have to say, even though I got more nervous for a few days, I think they've got rid of my anxiety almost altogether now. It's almost like I can't be bothered to worry and I'm a bit perturbed by it because I'm way more relaxed than is my normal character! So they obviously can work. Im up and down with my mood though. Maybe its like that for a while? For me it is worth it though because i feel a lot better than I did. Maybe it will be worth it for you or maybe you would prefer a different way of dealing with things. It's up to you but i dont think there's any need to worry about them. Despite the long side effects list I've actually had more problems with pain killers
