I had the same reaction to antidepressants.

The doctors wanted me to try the SSRI and other newer types of AD's to help the anxiety, and instead they made the anxiety worse and did nothing for the mild depression, and the side effects were so horrible.

Over the years they had me try almost every single SSRI/SRNI antidepressant - and all of them failed, and all of them made me worse instead of better.


I also noticed a decrease in my general anxiety once my ADD was treated - and the doctors kept telling me the ADD meds would make the anxiety worse - but instead it became better. Gotta love those doctors

It's nice to be able to talk to someone who has had experiences that are similar to my own...
