I had a terrible experience with Zoloft induced Anxiety many years ago after just a couple of doses and it didn't wear off for many weeks. I had not been feeling anxious before, just depressed. It scared me off Antidepressants.
But I'm now experiencing fairly severe Depression again. My Doctor has suggested all kinds of things including SSRI's, SNRI's, even Anti-psychotics. I read they all have the possibility of causing anxiety and in some cases other awful side-effects (especially the anti-psychotics).
What is the experience out there? Someone I know tried a number of AD's, has now been on Celexa for years and says she experienced no side-effects. Thoughts? Other suggestions?
With my current depression I have also already been experiencing intensifying anxiety, taking Benzos for that. I do NOT want to get worse. But I feel the need to do something.
Thanks so much!
