Thanks you guys for all your replies.I'm very cautious of medications, especially antidepressants, and always do research and read up about them before taking anything.Now thank goodness I'm certain NO ANTIDEPRESSANTS FOR ME, THAT IS A TOTAL TOTAL CERTAINTY.The SSRI's all give me headaches, migraines and fibromyalgia. Effexor, the miscellaneous type and especially the tricyclics cause constipation, bloating, water retention, blurred vision, fatigue, low energy, increased hunger, major, rapid weight gain etc - for me! The tryciclics act on so many neurotramittors they have sooo many side effects - these are so scary. Yes, I totally agree everyone reacts differently to medication and some poeple couldn't live without them, but for me, I'm so super sensitive, even to mild medications, they've been pure hell,- finally I've made peace with this issue. I thought for a while about going back on them, now thank goodness, I'm convinced what a crazy idea that was!!Thanks for all the useful information and help - I'm really so glad that these meds do help some, but they're not for everyone. Apparently between 20 - 25% of people can either not tolerate antidepressants or do not get results - I guess I'm just one of those people. I can live with that.Thanks again.
