Comment on Antidepressants by yasa-hime
I've been on antidepressants for several years for anxiety and depression.
Talk to your doctor or psychiatrist about what you're experiencing - random extreme reactions can be the result of the drug not being right for you - when I was put onto a new drug (Lexapro - it's a nasty one for side effects, but a lot of people don't get any at all and swear by it), and slept around 19 hours a day for two weeks until I spoke up and said that it wasn't okay. Honestly, I have practically no memory of those two weeks.
Doseage takes a while to nail down, as well - you may need to start cutting up pills to take one or two and a quarter or something. It's annoying.
My best advice is wait until the end of the two weeks and if you're still having trouble, talk to your doctor. Meanwhile, keep things low key and don't put too much pressure on yourself
Good luck!
