Tamara,
I am exactly the same way so I understand completely. These medications are scary. If you need to do all of this research before you feel comfortable enough to start on them, then you do it! It's better than popping pills indiscriminately. It may make the therapeutic response come later but that's the tradeoff.Kara
> Thanks Kara. You are right. I think I was generalizing because I found a chart that listed interactions for TCAs as a category of ADs, not individually. Then again, I am just sooooo weary now that it just doesn't matter anymore. I'll just start the darn thing and stop obsessing about the stupid side effects. I just want to stop worrying so much about it and stop feeling so numb. Geez, I'm so pathetic. Sitting here with tears steaming down my face, yet too afraid to start a med that may help me feel better.
