I thought I'd add, I get paradoxical effects to some meds myself. Doctor doesn't dismiss the phenomena. Chamomile tea makes me jittery-the more I drank-the worse it got, before I figured it out. Note there have been reports of people getting sleepy on ritalin and amphetamines on babble before. People with ADD calm down on amphetamines. My brother and I share paradoxical effects to some of the same meds, like some sleep meds, which make us feel "wired". Independently- we compared notes years later. Sounds like a genetic component. My own trial of cymbalta was hell. I felt lousy, and within a day or so felt near suicidal. I could hardly function whatsoever, even through a cousin's wedding. I almost didn't go, and had to leave early. Groggy beyond belief, weepy, nauseaous, achey...and sense of life as living hell. I stuck it out in good faith for another day or so before calling doctor, who, alarmed, pulled me off immediately. My mood restabilized to where it was before cymbalta. It was the wrong med for me. Note many antidepressents carry warnings to watch for worsening moods. It is possible. Antidepressents don't necessarily lift one's mood- don't necessarily do nothing, either.
