Don't Be Frightened of Effects from A/Ds ? » sid

Sid, don't be scared. You're probobably hearing the more negative posts as the positive ones, the ones that ADs work nicely for, aren't generally the people who seek out these forums.

I've stopped some ADs in the past or switched, not so much because they weren't effective, as because I didn't like the side-effects. I've been stable on Paxil before but wanted off it due to withdrawal/discontinuation symptoms if I was late for a dose. I'm on Celexa now & have been stable on it for well over a year. Only Luvox actually 'pooped out' for me.

I have other friends who most people wouldn't realise have taken ADs. In talking with them, many have taken them for 6 months or more, but were able to discontinue them afterwards successfully & continue normally. We just rarely hear about the positive stories as they get on with their life without mentioning meds to most people.

> You guys are scaring me. I was so reluctant to take ADs, and reading this I almost don't want to continue. I hope I don't have to take them forever, I hope it's a one year+ treatment that'll leave me functioning relatively normally. But I may be wrong hoping so much, I don't know. Seeing my doc tomorrow, will have a long talk !
