Anti-Depressants
Hi Space Cadet,
I have had bad experiences with anti-depressants. They help a lot of people though so I think it is worth a try. Just keep a close watch on your behavior and how you are feeling. These kinds of meds effect me bad because they aggravate the REM sleep behavior disorder I have. I actually ended up in the hospital from Paxil. The only one I have tried that was helpful to me and did not cause a lot of real bad problems was Wellbutrin. Just my experience. Everybody is different. Just wanted to tell you to pay attention. These drugs are way more heavy duty then they present them as. Make sure you don't stop taking them abruptly. If you decide you don't like them you have to taper down off them slowly. That was another huge mistake I made. I kid you not it was like having an acid trip.
Good luck. Hope this helps you. Good to hear from you.
