I'm not taking either of those medications, but I wanted to encourage you to talk here.
The folks here are very understanding if you need to whine or rage, most of them have been thru the bad times themselves, some of them have been living with the "worst case scenario" for years.
And some of them have been on every drug known to man, and can quote you lists of side-effects that you might or might not hear from your doctor. For example, I didn't know why my hair was falling out...til I came back here for another reason and saw a post saying it's a side-effect I'd never heard of, from my meds I've been on for years! People here really know their stuff, and are generally pretty generous in sharing information.Also consider posting to the "Psycho-Social-Babble"...it's a good place to find others who're going thru the same thing you are and who can specifically talk to you about life and coping and other things unrelated to medication. :)
Good luck, and hang in there!!
