They can work really well but the side effects can be harsh to start and I do mean harsh. I think too many doctors start people off at too high a dose. Here are the usual starting side effects many people have. Nausea, diarrhea (Get Pepto Bismol otherwise you might find yourself not getting to the bathroom on time) headaches, jitters, insomnia, sweating, reduced appetite and finally partial sexual dysfunction (loss of desire, inability to orgasm.) These drugs can be remarkably effective in slowing negative thinking and improving mood but those side effects.....Many people get at least 1/2 of these starting side effects, some more.
