Antidepressants really freak me out. A pill that supposedly makes you feel less depressed. I don’t want a pill that deals with my mood messengers.

It may be good for others. I know my hospital tutor swore by prozac.

Sorry to hear about the bad side effect

You need more time. It takes a couple of weeks before you notice any difference and level out.

It can take a month or two for effects to show.

Taking ADs with APs sometimes eliminates effect of former. I used to feel numbed out while taking sertraline with olanzapine. Similar exeperience with escitalopram and mirtazapine. These two didn’t work with olanzapine.

Just give it some more time. If you don’t feel better after 3 weeks then talk to your doc.

It took me years to find an anti dep. I take effexor. It helped a lot. Yeah they do act strange

I stopped after few days. On top of numbness started feeling stiffness in muscles.

Now just take olanzapine.
