Good luck. It can take a while to adjust. I found the serotonin based ones work fast for me (lucky I guess) but I always feel wonky and a bit sedated for a while, while I get used to having a quiet brain. If they work they are a game changer. Fingers crossed you are in that bucket
The one that works for me is desvenlafaxine/Pristiq - it’ll take a bit of time to work, but be patient and if you feel really off or even a bit suicidal, please talk to your doc asap.
Started a new antidepressant today. Haven’t been on one before so I’m curious to see what happens.
I do hope it does something. I’d hate to go on the medication merry go round to find something effective.
Fingers crossed for you. Been there, had awful side effects and none worked. SNRI landed me in emergency ☹️
many hugs,
Good luck, and do reach out if you need any interwebs support ❤️
As you can see a few of us have been in your shoes from a medication perspective before.

Good luck, friend!
I disliked Pristiq, some of the side effects never went away for me.
I’d still strongly encourage people try it though as it got me through a really rough time and I’m truly grateful for that.
If I needed something again it would be my first choice.
