Unsolicited advice below 🙏

If you haven't done antidepressants before, prepare yourself for some migraine like side effects for a week or so. Also, don't expect happiness or quick effects. Took several months before they took off the edges for me. Which is to say, good luck and be kind to yourself! 🌸

    Last time I was on antidepressants was back in like 2003.

    My psych warned me specifically that I ought not to expect an immediate “I’m super happy” effect, and that it will be four to six weeks for it to build up enough in me to have a chance of seeing a therapeutic effect.

    Thanks for the well wishes and the advice.
