Make it make sense

Severally depressed person gets prescribed a new antidepressant.
The sides effects are so bad
The pill that is supposed to make them stop feeling like they want to die
Gives side effects so bad that they now want to die due to the physical side effects
And the medical professionals .. give it at least two weeks for your body to get use to it..
sure this makes a lot of sense.

I really understand the frustration you’re feeling. It’s incredibly hard when you’re already fighting just to get through the day, and then the thing that’s supposed to help makes you feel even worse before it gets better. As a Veteran, I’ve been through the struggle of trying to find the right medications to help with what I was dealing with, and the trial-and-error process can be exhausting.

Please hang in there and don’t lose hope. Finding the right medication and the right balance can take time, but it doesn’t mean you’re stuck feeling this way forever.

Just guessing maybe its an SSRI and the stomach discomfort thay comes with it. If so thats because the stomach and intestine also rely on serotonin to regulated digestion, bowel movements, appetite, and nutrient absorption. Bht the serotonin produced there stays there and cannot be absorbed i to the bloodstream to help wuth its functions in the brain related to mood emtional regulation. So when a person takes an SSRI at first the guts get scrambled from the disregulation of digestive system serotonin, but after a few weeks the system adjusts production and nueron sensitivity to it and the effects fade
Standard answer when it comes to meds.
@Sojournersoul these headaches are horrible. Don’t even get me started on how anxious I’ve been and fidgety with it but they keep telling me the side effects will be less severe and to stick with it :(
@MyMonstersAreReal been there with med change and don’t know how you are functioning
