Despite the impression given in support groups, most people have none to only mild initial side-effects. However, if we convince ourselves that we will suffer greatly then anxious minds can produce our worst nightmares irrespective of what the med does, or doesn't do. My advice is to not go down the rabbit hole of seeking other people's experiences. Your biological reactions to medications are unique to you and other's experiences will tell you nothing about how you will fare. Some initial side-effects can be unpleasant but they are usually short-lived and rarely harmful. Unrelieved anxiety/stress and/or depression have a far greater negative impact both physically and emotionally.
