All of the medications I have used at first increased depression, suicidal thoughts or made me agitated or otherwise produced negative mood effects. After approx. a week or two these subsided and my mood improved. And even sometimes upon increasing the dosage I experienced these type of effects before the medication did what the psychiatrist hoped it would do. My understanding is that this is pretty typical.
