Sounds like either too much noradrenaline going on, or else blocking those serotonin receptors is not good for you.
Two schools of thought...stick it out and give it time; stop the offending medication. Personally I stop a drug that is offending me that much. People don't just sometimes feel suicidal on a particular drug, they find their family staring at them in a coffin at the funeral home.
The school of thought that says to stick with it argues that as brain changes are ocurring it will be uncomfortable but that good times are on the other side after those changes have happened, and that if you don't stick it out you'll never know. Well, me, I have to work, support a family, appear normal as best I can, and absolutely cannot afford to get worse on a medication. Thus I do not attend the stick it out school. For me I can tell you within 7 days whether a drug is going to be good for me or not. After that it is just a matter of side effects. I did in the past do the stick it out thing. Drugs that made me worse in the first 7 days, still had me worse 2 months later. Drugs that showed some improvement within 7 days were doing pretty good 2 months later.
