Antidepressants Changing Personality?

I think that is the idea. In order to help control your anxious reactions to things, you must change how you react. People who can't do that consciously, including me, need help with therapy or medications. I have never had anyone tell me that a change in my reaction to a particular event was bad. It is a good thing. And for me it was a good feeling. Almost like a new beginning and a new start in life. I was able to better cope with things that before I found overwhelming. It is not a bad thing. But if you start a medication and you feel strange in a bad way (maybe you feel dizzy or your head feels fuzzy or like you are in a dream all of the time), then you should talk with your Dr. You don't have to feel like that to get your anxiety under control. Usually your Dr. can make an adjustment in your dose or change the medication until you find one that works for you. That happens a lot. But don't give up if the first thing doesn't work like you think it should. It is all worth it in the end. Please, trust me. It is. I have been there. And now my life is so much easier to deal with and a lot more fun!
