Anti depressant drugs make you feel positive, cheerful and more creative. But they have several side effects and depending on the body they show up. Mine made my mouth go as dry as sand and I found it difficult to even speak. I also had severe constipation, and I gained weight quite quickly.

When I first started taking mine, there were problems getting used to it for a few weeks. That went away. There are only two side effects that have continued that I know of and they are something I am dealing with. If your side effects are there after a few weeks and hard to deal with, you may want to ask your doctor to change your medicine.

I see. Mine lasted for about 6 months. Its strange how those people who never take these medicines think that it was absolutely needless on the part of the people to take these medicines. They should put themselves into our shoes.

Absolutely, they have no idea what you are dealing with because they are not in your situation. After the side effects went away, my medicine changed my life. It was a gift from God.

when my husband was in hospital having a triple bypass operation and he had complications I went on them for a little while , they made me feel even more worked up and shaky for a wee while then they were really good , I wasn't on them too long so coming off didn't really bother me too much xx
