so I just took a pill of a new anti-d for me.

side effects can be headaches, blurred vision, constipation, insomnia - and then most scary for me extra agitation, anger.

It has really good reviews from some people though.

I don't have motivation to get out of bed so I just have to try. Woke up this AM just wanting to end things asap.

so here goes...

Hope things went well over the weekend. If you do get extra anxiety, you might experiment to see of some some form of exercise could take the edge off the anxiety.

Thank you - am on day 5 or 6 maybe. I don't think the side effects have begun yet. So far, more energy. And instead of crying while walking down the street not crying. Still hate being awake and SI, but early days.I force myself to go for a walk every day - which isn't much exercise but instead of being in bed all the time. For some reason,both my knees and wrists and hips are injured though. I think it's an injury from how tense and depressed I have been.So not sure about other exercise.

Luckily I've remembered I have xanax so if the anxiety gets bad hope that will help get me through.

Thanks for your good wishes

It took about a year and a half for my anti depressants to rly work and for negative side effects to drop off 😵‍💫

So happy to hear this. I started taking mine about two months ago and even though today is especially hard... I've been doing well for the most part.

I added a bit of weed edible today to get myself out of house and been having random urges to hit people. Not enough to act on. Guess I need to keep an eye on this 😭 Also don't like being round people full stop. Feel so hopeless. I know I just have to keep going for now to see if the meds will help…
