Weak body ,racing thoughts , spaced out, tired all day. There all normal and can last for weeks , sometime putting you to bed with side effects. its hard to go to work when first starting an AD there is a med in your head fighting depression for your brain it can get brutal. You can go back to your doc every 4 weeks and say this is not working , then he gives you a new one and off you go again, when really if you had given the first one another week it may have kicked in and worked. SO I say to all those mildly depressed don't take an AD you will become worse .They only work on real chronic depression and also chronic depressed if you carnt stand the normal brutal start up, is you depression that bad, because I would walk bare foot over broken glass for a mile if I thought it was going to work
I'm sorry sewerrats, but I've been on AD's for most of my life and none of those side effects are normal at all. There is nausea, some stomach upset, headache, maybe some sleepiness. But if they don't get better in 2 weeks then something needs to change. You may be speaking of the harsher anti psychotics, and I have no experience with those. I understand we're talking about a different level of mental illness in respect to those drugs. But for straight up anti depressants, there are too many options out there to tolerate such symptoms. Not to mention what you described sounds dangerous.

ok guys,

Reminder - posting at PC, is first and foremost meant to be supportive. I see nothing supportive in this thread, just a three way argument.

I am therefore closing it.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
