Not sure. Can't remember.
Shakes & Pains sound like some of the withdrawal symptoms I had recently so yeah nee doubt they're connected to your meds.
What you taking like???

Been given citalopram in the past and hated it. I didn't care about anything, and put on around a stone and a half which I'm struggling to shift. Had a relapse recently and was given something else, which name escapes me. Didn't take them like. Another course of CBT is due soon.
Like Utter dog shit. Unless they were my energency beta blockers. I liked them!

Absolutely shite for around a month or so then you start numbing up.
Worth sticking with them for a while, at least until the initial side effects pass over so you know how they get on with you in day to day life.
50mg Sertarline they've got me overly worrying about daft things. haLet me try & think back 17 years

Drugs are the solution for a lot of people.

Never taken that personally.
Presumably there's a 'black box warning' type thing in the instruction leaflet as well as a side effects bit that explains what might happen to you to make you feel even more nutty than you previously did.
Sometimes reading the small print is actually important
Hopefully it doesn't take a month for the side effects to pass that seems brutal

I know, was just thinking out loud really. Was this forum that made me rethink my attitude towards them, but I'm glad I've not went down that route yet.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but they can take 6-8 weeks to kick in.
Even longer for some.
And sometimes they never do.
And then you have to start all over again with a second option.
Aye it basically says things will get worse before they get better just wasn't expecting out like this.Never taken that personally.

Never had to deal with depression thankfully, I know that these days you're more likely to me medicated than lie back on a couch talking about your feelings though.

Absolutely. It's real though. And horrific.
Worse spell for me was a 72-96 hours period where I literally didn't leave my bedroom.
Barely got out from under the sheets.
Even locked the door - with just a pint glass of water for company.
Got to the point where me 5 year old daughter was even knocking on the door asking what's wrong with her daddy & you still can't pull yourself out of it through sheer shame & guilt.
From that point, if you manage to venture downstairs it seems like a huge personal goal that you've accomplished.
Even if you do it when you know the house is empty, solely due to ridiculous fear of having to actually have some form of human interaction.
