In reply to What does it feel like when the AD's work?, posted by Thumper Girl on August 5, 1999, at 4:34:08
I know the opinions will vary greatly on this
one, but I think when you find the best AD for
you it feels (after the side effects wear off--can
take up to a month or two) like you're not taking
anything, you just feel happier and more functional.
When something works for me, I don't dwell on my
negative thoughts as much, I'm not as introverted,
I laugh more, I notice beauty more, I socialize
with more ease and grace...Have you thought about trying Wellbutrin or Serzone?
They don't have the sexual side effects, and I think
it's relatively rare to lose your hair on wellbutrin.
some people have that side effect, but many don't.Celexa was great for my Dad. Serzone has been really
good for my good friend and roomate.Do you have health insurance? Maybe you could get
referred to a psychiatrist who could answer all your
questions and concerns.Good luck--I'll bet you can find one that works for
you. Keep us updated :-)
