I posted about this on another thread, but you simply have to be careful when starting an anti-depressant. Monitor your moods and attitude closely the first couple of weeks. If you notice disturbing changes tell your doctor immediately. They make countless numbers of medications and if one thing doesn't work for you there is no cause to give up. MOST PEOPLE experience side-effects on the first anti-depressant they are prescribed. Usually it takes 2 or 3 medications before you find one that works without side-effects.

Always, always talk to your doctor before starting or stopping a med.
