Pete, have you ever taken any other ADs? In the doctors' & pharmacists' CPS, it seems every AD has the note that a patient has the potential for committing suicide when first starting an AD.

It seems that initially a person may feel so depressed that they have little energy to do anything. When the AD starts taking effect, the person is roused from the deeper depression but still feels like sh*t but now has enough energy to kill themself. Not implying that you're suicidal but it seems to be common enough that some people will respond to the AD with a certain lifting of their depression but paradoxically also feel worse at first then improve more.

As others have said, mention this to your doctor (& ask your pharmacist too if she/he is good). It may need adjusting, patiently waiting longer, or even stopping it. Alternatively, maybe Klonopin might be added for a while.
