Is anyone taking antidepressants?


I have been having some major stomach problems and I am going through some tests. Since the tests are coming back fine I am wondering if it is anxiety. I would like some feed back on how others hanlde the emotional piece. Part of me feels like I am a widow.

I'm not on them now, but took them during the earliest, most horrible days of my separation... I would definitely talk to your doctor about things and see what they say... I know that the Zoloft I took really helped me be in a place mentally that I could handle what was going on around me better... Keep us posted...

Thank you for your responses....


Here is the thing I have taken paxhil years and years ago and had bad side effects with wieght gain and libido loss. My doctor gave me the lowest dose possible of celexa and then until that kicks in he gave me Xanax.... I heard wild things about xanax and different things about celexa. Have not started either yet, but I am ready to get out of this funk.


Thanks!

I took Leaxapro for a few months.... I was really pleased with it... minimal side effects, and it wasn't a big deal to start taking it... or stop taking it... and it relly helped to take the edge off.

I have been on Paxil for almost 10 years.

Hi. I'm new here so bear with me. I just wanted to say that antidepressants can be tricky depending on what's going on... I only have my own experience to pull from.
