does all anti-depressants give side affects? how long do they take

before you start to feel better? there is things you can do to help when

your having a panick/anxiety attack like breathing, muscle relaxation

and diazipam, but when your feeling really depressed what can you do

to make the pain lessen. does anti-depressants work? why do they help

some and not others? i have also heard some people claim they have

made them feel much much worse. now i am feeling afraid to take them

because i don't want to feel any worse than i already do but at the same

time i am feeling so bad i feel i need some kind os help. please any help

Hello,

I take Celexa and don't experience any side effects. It took between 3 and 4 weeks to start working when I started.

I have found my anti-depressant works. I have heard some people have experienced side effects, but there are many out different types out there and usually you can find one that works by talking to your doctor or psychiatrist. They are the experts and know what is the best to be prescribed.

Good luck, I hope you find something that helps your pain.  

I have a question:

Is Cymbalta ever associated with causing GERD? I switched over to it from Effexor sometime earlier this year, and just about the time I started it, I started having the WORST (and first) acid reflux I've ever experienced in my life. I've always had heartburn, but this is nothing like anything I've ever gone through -- waking up at night with bile in the back of my throat thinking I'm about to vomit, waking up with HICCUPS, for crying out loud, constant burning pain no matter what I eat. The timing might be coincidental, but I would like to change medicines if the Cymbalta is responsible. Of course changing medicines is its own pain in the neck, so I'd like to know if there's any evidence to support my theory before I try!

Anyone have any info? Thanks!
TJ
