Side Effects?

[Bianca01]

Hi Everyone,

Have you ever had negative side effects from a new med for the first 2 or 3 weeks that eventually went away? I'm particulary interested in knowing if anyone felt agitated/angry? What were you taking and how long until you felt like the med was working?

Thank you

Last year I was prescribed Prozac and for the first 6 weeks I had a pretty rough ride. My appetite went, I couldn't sleep and my mood plummeted. Gradually it began to kick in.

I had a problem with Prozac and anger, it worked in sense that it made me in an agitated mania state. I had bad side effects with Lithium and they were gone in about 3 months. I'm going to be trying lamactil, and some people on the crazyboards say it can cause agitation while titrating the dosage.
With most anti-deps minimal improvement in about 2 wks, anti-psychs assorted times, anti-convulsants pretty immediate. This is for me though.

most ssri antidepressant medications have the potential to cause irritability and agitiation, usually it wears off.

feeling agitated and angry for no reason os not good, talk to your doc. Wellbutrin was the worst becuase it had me high one day and the next crying hystericaly. I been on Zoloft for the past few months and I've been well
