And even then it often doesn't really sink in for a long time to come.Some of the issues that seem to be REAL slow to sink in for these meds:
1- The severity and duration of withdrawal some can experience for certain meds. This is a big deal if you ask me and the awareness by prescribing docs isn't always there.
2- The fact that if somebody is on one of these meds for long enough the rate of sexual dysfunction goes up and up and up for far more patients than the tiny percentage the side-effect sheets indicate.
3- SSRI's can induce suicidality for anyone - even adults - in certain cases. Especially upon startup or an increase in dose.
4- Weight gain for certain meds is quite common if one takes these meds long term. This one may be better realized than the first three.
Can't think of any more right now so I'll stop my rant.
