Antidepressants - anyone had extremely bad reaction?

I’m ok on antidepressants, can’t live without them.

But stuff like Provigil makes me manic as anything.

That must have been very difficult. Can I ask if you have Sz? Yeah i had bizarre things going on too. Thank you

Yes, I am diagnosed with schizophrenia. :slight_smile: I am never going to take antidepressants again.

I wouldn’t either if it made me stop eating, no way.Thanks again. it very helpful to ask others. Sometimes i wonder where some things come from. why i feel the way i do or my extreme experiences like this one.

I take Prozac and have bipolar or schizoaffective depending on who I talk too. I need to take Prozac but have to inch up the dose very slowly or else I go bananas. I go up 2.5 Mgs every 2 weeks. Like all meds antidepressants have unwanted side effects but the benefit outweighs the risk in my case.

I couldn’t handle SSRIs. They made me feel horrible. Tried Paxil once and that was enough for me. I do tolerate Wellbutrin though , its a different kind of med.
