If a physician is not warned of the side effects or withdrawl symptoms, or they happen in only a small percentage of people, how are the docs expected to know what will happen with every drug. I believe it is up to pharmacists (some of whom to actually track down this info) and doctors (who diagnose the particular problems) to work closer together for the betterment of the health care system.

James here....Also all side effects with AD's are reversable when the dose is lowered or med is stopped. What is the point of listing all side effects when most will not get them. Doc's do a good job about
letting us know about the major and life threating ones. To me side effects are minor if they go away when the med is stopped. Neurotransmitters, mood, and other body functions are tied together so it is hard to effect mood w/o effecting other functions, hince a wide virety of side effects which varies for person to person.james
