Hi, Nike007, I meant to respond to this much sooner.

I was kind of on-my-own before and just-after I was diagnosed, and through a lot of internet research and other sources, discovered that there is a certain percentage of people who are affected by this symptom. It might even become a dangerous situation, if major depressive disorder is never treated, and someone experiences a serious fall as a result.

Other lesser-known but very alarming side effects can include: difficulties with speech (where there never was before), sharp and chronic jaw pain, an acute increase in auditory faculties (making one very reactive to sound), light sensitivity, cognitive slowing, and lots of fuzzy thinking (perceived as ''slowness" by those around us).

I have experienced all of these rarer side effects from major depressive disorder, and I can agree, they are no fun. The clumsiness was especially worrisome. You have to kind of re-think your movements and how you go about everyday tasks, taking more care, and not rushing as much.

With time, and continued treatment, as well as making some adjustments to how I go about my day, these symptoms have lessened and/ or disappeared completely.

Massive (((huggg)))), and a wish for better times for you, soon.
