Re: Anti-Depressant Question       09/21/04 03:18 PM Edit Reply Quote amo616 Reged: 08/16/04 Posts: 236 Loc: Ontario, Canada You might be surprised by how many of your doctors' patients are on them. I know a pharmacist and I once commented on how I didn't know how teachers deal with the stress and he replied quite seriously than many of them are on ADs!! My point is not that they are a cure all but that it's a common thing to take them and it's worth a shot. The worst thing that can happen is it doesn't help you; the best is you feel better. It can take several weeks for an AD to kick in so be patient. Also, the first you try might not work for you. I tried two before I found a winner. I strongly recommend you ease into the med slowly. Ask for pills to start with and take a quarter pill and add another quarter every 3-4 days and then you work up to a full dose and move to capsules instead of pills. Same thing for going off. Cold turkey is a bad thing with these meds. Good luck!! -------------------- Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
