I'm glad I took them in the afternoon, 'cause relaxed was anything but what I was feeling. I did notice that the side effects were normal, according to webmd...but I still didn't/don't like them. The side effects are lessening...but I can still feel the pills...and I still don't like them.
My guy friend, that i've been hanging out with everyday for like a month now started asking me if I had taken my pills...'cause he can tell when i take them...and he doesn't like them either. Oh well I guess. 3 weeks to my next appointment.

Hang in there...the side effects can be brutal when you first start, but they really will go away and you will feel better. Depending on the meds...the side effects of withdrawal are 10 times worse. One of my meds is effexor, with a half life of less than a day. If I miss a day due to not getting refilled in time or something, the following day I am sick as a dog until they get back on track in my system. Other SSRIs, like Prozac, have a much longer half life so the effects of sudden stopping isn't nearly as painful. Did you say what you were taking?
Also, sometimes it takes time to figure out what works best for you. If you think that they can be beneficial to you, stick with it because it's worth it.
Take care of yourself KV!
