Struggling with New Antidepressants: Is It Normal?

It depends what medication you are referring to and personal experience

Yes

I had a pretty noticeable downfall with some of the meds I have been on, my doc took me off them when I expressed my concerns later on Years later I was able to take a gene test to see what meds work for me and a lot of the meds I was put on at first didn't metabolize well in my body. I am curious about the bupropion/wellbutrin comments tho.. I have been on this med twice and after a while its just stopped helping... has been the only med so far that did help, but then it didn't, even after upping dosage 😅

Sometimes you gotta try a different type of anti depressant to get the result that you need.. like for me, I know I need an SSRI to feel better, I guess that's just what my body needs. So it just depends, but don't be afraid to try a different one out. 🙏

Yepp that can be normal sometimes, I've had some that made me slightly nauseous on the first night or week also. With my Wellbutrin, I had a very hard time adjusting to it, & I feel it doesn't cover my depression fully, but after 2 months, the good started to outweigh the bad ! most side effects are gone, but it's not perfect. Other than that, I usually have a positive response more quickly, & you will know if it's the right one 🌼💕

Hi i takin bupropion after a month i felt great stop taking my medication i took longer to get back on track

Yes ! In 2022 I was feeling very bad the first week and day 9 I was like WOW I feel better and then better and better until I was feeling very happy after 2 months. Now in 2024 I started again and it took me 40 days to feel better, and another 40 to start feeling happier.
