Despite the impression support groups can give, most people have none to mild side-effects when starting on ADs. Also, not all side-effects are necessarily down to the med. An anxious mind is very capable of generating our worst nightmare if given half a chance. While side-effects may sometimes be unpleasant they don't usually cause physical harm.
What dose has your GP prescribed to start?
