I sometimes wonder

Posted by Meltingpot on August 26, 2015, at 10:02:45

Back in my 20s Antidepressants worked great, very quickly on the smalllest, starting dose.
When I hit 35 (after being off antidepressants for 3 years) my depression and agitation came back worse. I spent two years trying lots of antidepressants at starting doses, experienced excrutiating anxiety, nausea, apathy, increased suicidal thoughts. I felt like I was poisoning myself by taking them. Zyprexa got me through those two years. After two years of trying, the psychiatrist put me straight onto 40mg of Seroxat, no starting dose. Within four days I felt well, no sickness, no anxiety, no nausea.
I sometimes wonder if a lot of people give up on antidepressants simply because they feel so bad on the starting doses when if they had gone straight on a high dose they would have felt relief and continued to take them.
