> like Phillipa, side effects usually cause me abort a med pretty early on. But I think its the nature of the side effects. I stuck it out on Prozac once for a month, many bad side effects, no result. When the sides are anxiety and paranoia, I abort within a few days. I know its a seratonin thing which I don't happen to need.

> Have heard of people who, when they stick to AD thru side effects, they may get tremendous results after 4-8 weeks! I'd take a hard look at what you think you need, seratonin, dopamine, etc.,then give that med a full trial. Especially if you've never tried one before.
