I dealt with sexual side effects for years on paxil. No, I'm talking about side effects which are worse than the cure! If I could take something that would work and just have sexual side effects I'd deal with it.
I got severely suicidal during paxil withdrawal and it has never completely left.
Celexa I got askathesia from. I think that is what happened. It was hell on Earth whatever it was. Had to stop it in less than a week
Lexapro made me literally vomit.
Zoloft: severe nausea and cotton headed feeling like my head was separated from my body. Felt very ill all the time. This was the first AD I was tried on. After four weeks I was switched to Paxil and I was great.
Remeron: only partial response and made me have severe blood sugar problems, worse anxiety and incredible rage. Despite its longer half life took me forever to get off of it. Further destroyed my stomach with severe heartburn. Ate oatmeal and rice for months.
Wellbutrin added to remeron: at first made me tired, then sent me over the edge with crazy levels of anxiety. Took two months for the shaking to stop after I discontinued.
Nortriptyline: never made it up to theraputic levels due to severe heart pounding. Also, lost six pounds of water weight in the first two days on extremely low doses. Pdoc took me off that one due to the severe heart racing, pounding. Made my anxiety worse and disturbed my sleep.
