> Cam thanks and to think they used to be too stimulating for me to even take. How does ones reaction change so drastically over the years? Thanks Phillipa

Peoples' changes in their reactions to medications over the years is highly individualized. This is probably due to genetic make up & the nature of their disorder.
For example, some people can take SSRIs for years & they will work fine, while others experience poop-out & have to change to other SSRIs or even other classes of antidepressants.
It is almost impossible to predict an individuals' reaction to medication over the longterm; although sometimes family history can help give clues.
The disorder one may have is also not usually static, & can change over the years with bouts of remission & relapse sprinkled in sporadically.
Sorry that I cannot give a clearer answer than that. - Cam
