You sound like me. That is how I feel on Ad's as well.
I have a sensitive central nervous system I think. Not only do AD's do that to me but anti nausea meds do as well; I flipped out BIG time on Compazine and Phenergen- it was a very similar reaction that I had to Lexapro. Of course, they described my reactio to Lexapro as "akathasia" so it has terrified me to try another SSRI.
Oddly enough, I had gone on St. John's wart last summer ( I heard it helped you sleep and also could be anti-viral). Anyway, I *never* felt weird on it- I did get a weird rash on my neck that wouldn't go away so I quit taking it after 2 months..
I maybe felt a bit "calmer" but I never felt it really helped. Of course, I bought the Wal-Mart brand so who knows' if it was effective.
