It's just that in CS's case, the all night crying thing is a bit more than a normal side effect. I don't think it's a side effect at all. It's just a plain flat out bad reaction to a wrong drug. Hopefully it will get better. I know I wouldn't have the endurance to try to get through that though.

At least in me this happens anytime I switch meds but I have learned
to take Atavin for a few days to smooth things over. It takes 4 weeks to
improve mood but drastic changes happen in the body after a dose or
so. Inhibition of reuptake happens after a dose or so. Given that these are drastic
changes over a short period of time it is no surprize the first week is rocky. Is crying
all night not fun ? Yes. Are you going to die or be forever physically hurt ? No.
However, each of us has our limits. For me, being a nor-e person, meaning few AD's will
work, my choices are limited so I am/was willing to wait out anything that does not have
long term effects. Since I know why these things happen it really helps me to put up
with them.
