    Hey there WillowTree,

    I'm afraid I don't understand your post fully, however wanted to drop you a line, and offer you *hug*'s! - Antidepressants have different affects on every individual, whether negative or positive, or even a Placebo effect. Which can also be affected by what Anti-Depressant you are taking, and the strength of it. You haven't mentioned what the feeling you had before was, and what feeling you're getting now, would you be able to tell us a bit more? :)

    You could also return to your prescriber, and talk to them about the effects the antidepressants are having on you, if you are worried with how you're feeling now, when taking the medication. However, it could be your body generally getting used to the medication, so I would give it a 4-5 weeks, or so!

    Best wishes,
    WhispersOfTheHeart

    Maybe if they don't work this time you can speak to your doctor about getting them changed? Also did you stop taking them suddenly or was it gradually?
