You took a really big step calling the doctor! That is awesome. It's natural to be afraid, but remember he can't help you if you're not honest with him.

I'm sorry to hear about your friend, but as Nowhere said, YOU are aware of the possible side effects (very rare I do believe) so exercise some self care, if you find yourself in that very dark place or heading in that direction call your doctor immediately.

Please let us know how it went.
