Thank you for sharing.
I was put on Zoloft and Wellbutrin, as well as "natural" meds: none helped me.
I wish the best of luck for you.

@Menaa8D: thank you but I'm more concerned about your well being.
The thing is its different for every person in how they react. I take Ecitalipram (lexapro) as Citalipram had some side effects. The only thing i could say about lexapro is that it can give you clicky jaw and tense the muscles in that area, as the frontal lobe is very sensitive to changes in serotonin, and it controls muscle movement.
I find smoking weed really helps with the side effects when your starting those meds, got rid of the nausea and helps with the appetite.
Mirtazapine is one to avoid at all costs, it makes you a zombie and it gave me panic attacks. Though that being said someone else said it worked wonders for them, they're a sleep aid as well as an old school SNRI, so its not used often.

Thanks for the info! Definitely won't be trying those
@Menaa8D: Yeah also, it takes 2-3 months to really feel a change with anti depressants as its an accumulative effect, so try and be patient with it.
those ones i'm on are also for anxiety and i don't really get it anymore so thats a good thing about them. I found Citalipram helped more with my mood than Ecitalipram but i take a lower dosage so it works out.

Anger is never stupid. There's a reason. But maybe its being blown out of proportion by the meds? You should mention this to your doc. I don't take antidepressants but I take a lot of pain meds because my back was injured a while ago.
When my pain gets really high, my brain literally switches over and I am so angry about everything. When my pain goes down, it switches back. The thing is, the anger is about things I'm really mad at deep down. But it gets blown up when I have pain. Not sure if this helps...

Hmm, yeah that does sound a bit serious though. I do understand to a degree. If say my Dad is 1 sec late or too slow when he needs to drive me, I get so angry at him. But mostly I just keep it inside. In a way its good that you can break down and let it out. Its healthier for you than keeping it inside. Have you explained to your doc about these issues? It may be a side effect from the meds.

yeah I hate when they do that. you tell them something important and they just write it down and don't do anything about it! makes me wonder... but at the same time they are (or should be trained) to know when something is important or not. maybe they just need to be told a couple of times, to realize it is important. also, you should verse yourself on 'pharmokinetics'. i don't know why docs don't tell us more. information is power! sometimes drugs take a while for initial side effects to wear off (like a few weeks). ask your doc to tell you more about this. maybe that's why she hasn't done anything yet. but if it doesn't go away then she should do something! so keep her updated.
did you have these anger bursts with the old med or just the new? and how long have you been on the new one?
anywhooo hope you're having a better day!
