Hi Dechan,

Have you only tried one SSRI for a short period? The increased Depression/suicidal thoughts are a known side effect which should be monitored, but usually passes rapidly as the full effects of the med comes in around 6 weeks. It is usual to try several different ADs if you have problems as people have different tolerances and side effects to each med. It is partially due to these reasons that I have ended up on Mirtazapine - SSRI/SNRIs just don't work or affect me badly physically now.

While there are many self help and Therapy options you can explore, do not dismiss ADs so quickly. When you are gaining little from everything else, the right one is a blessing.

Dave.
