Anxiety and Stress Forum - antidepressant side effects ?

I'm getting overly worried about how i feel i've been prescribed anti depressants started taking them on Tuesday for anxiety and depression. I know they take awhile to work but all week ive been feeling like my legs are weak and numbness through out my body, my ears keep popping, wake up roughly the same time everynight disorientated feel like im not myself and tired eyes.

Is this all normal as I am getting realy scared? Sad

notalottodo If these are all new symtoms since you have started this drug, you need to call your doctor right away. Do not stop the drug on your own.

healthygirl333 Yes, it is alway a good idea to wheen off any depression or phycotic drug. Never do it by yourself. Only with the assistance of your doctor as I said to the abover poster.

I know I will eventually have to go back on them, But I really hate the side effects, and who knows what the long term effects are down the road, 1 drug Zyprexa is arleady being linked to Diabities, who knows what other drugs have links

I know I am going to wind up giving in to the doctors and taking these drugs cuz I cant take it anymore
