Your previous post was NOT stupid and unuseful.
Question: Before you were on any AD, did you experience headaches before? some nausea? insomnia? constipation occassionally? loss of memory?
I do know that Side Effects happen. The one problem I see is that once a person starts taking AD's, they think everything that happens to their body is a Side Effect. I've yet to experience anything with worse Side Effects than abusing alcohol, or that has worse withdrawal than alcohol. Effexor is no way near as bad as what I had been going through.
I think we can be influenced by the power of suggestion (reading the listed side effects) and also, I think the majority of us overanalyze everything, especially ourselves.
Your post was very interesting to me. Not at all stupid. :)
KDi in Texas> I had had similar experiences with SSRI (Paxil and Celexa above all, Prozac was not that bad). At the moment I think my previuous post was quite stupid and unuseful (I really don't know why I wrote it). Anyway my pdoc yesterday precribed me moclobemide but my pharmacist says it's not available anymore in Italy ... If this is true (my pdoc was quite sursprised about it) I think I will try again Prozac and if it doesn't work I'll have to come back to the good old Anafranil. Very glad you're doing fine on it (even envious ;-)
