I’ve been on my new antidepressants for about 6 months now, and although it took some dosage adjustments followed by time, they seem to be working pretty good. However, I have 2 side effects that are lingering around and not to mention they are just 2 of the handful of side effects that could occur that I extremely dis like and feel I’d be doing even better without these side effects. Ive been on my fair share of SSRI’s over the years, and with a few came with living with certain side effects which has always made it worth it in the long haul. However, I feel that the SSRI I was on prior to my serotonin syndrome induced psychosis had very few side effects and did not have the main 2 Im currently struggling with.
I think I will discuss possibly going back on my previous medication as I feel if it could make me feel like this without the 2 particular side effects Id feel even better and excel. However, Im also scared to go through the whole switching process just to find out it didn’t work as well and go back on these ones. It definitely takes alot of time and experimenting (under a doctor’s care) to find the right one(s) that work. Im still trying over 20 years later. Im still optimistic though.
