> if you are taking the drug at the same time each day it probably isn't withdrawal. How long have you been taking it? It takes a while for its antidepressant mechanism to kick in. It can take up to a month to work. Perhaps all the negative emotions that have been bottle up from numbness are being released? Is this dysphoria preferable over feeling dead inside?
i'm not taking it as an anti-depressant; i just use it once in a while to sleep. there's no build-up in effect - i notice the dysphoria and sadness after one-off uses.
and yeah, it is preferable to feeling dead :)
but i was just curious what Seroquel and Amitriptyline had in common that might cause that effect
