There is an article in this last Sunday's New York Times Magazine written by a psychiatrist who had to start taking ADs. It's just a one page account on the last page of the magazine if you can get it. Anyway, it's pretty much of a hoot because this woman started having some severe side effects to Wellbutrin, I think, and she talks alot about how "shocked" she was that the side effects were so awful. She pretty much admits that she had always told patients to bear with the side effects without ever really realizing that the side effects might be unbearable and that some of these drugs might really be toxic for some people. She of course went through the same crap the rest of us go through any time we start a new drug - the "do I stick with this because the side effects might abate" conundrum.
Best wishes for a better day
