If you get jittery or anxious, this is probably temporary.

Consider this family of drugs is a great improvement from the side effects and difficulties caused by the *previous* families of drugs to treat depression. On MAO inhibitors, you couldn't eat cheese, drink wine or take decongestants because it could elevate your blood pressure until you had a stroke!

Millions of people take this family and have seen benefit from it. I know I have. (Wow, I get to play out in a band! I didn't get to do that so much before, I was too socially anxious.)

The docs can help, but you don't get much time with them; once you get past the first three months, it will be up to you to notice how you are, and to find the right level for you. It gets a lot easier.
