Good luck. It can take a while to adjust. I found the serotonin based ones work fast for me (lucky I guess) but I always feel wonky and a bit sedated for a while, while I get used to having a quiet brain. If they work they are a game changer. Fingers crossed you are in that bucket
The one that works for me is desvenlafaxine/Pristiq - it’ll take a bit of time to work, but be patient and if you feel really off or even a bit suicidal, please talk to your doc asap.
Started a new antidepressant today. Haven’t been on one before so I’m curious to see what happens.
I do hope it does something. I’d hate to go on the medication merry go round to find something effective.
many hugs,

Good luck, friend!
I disliked Pristiq, some of the side effects never went away for me.
I’d still strongly encourage people try it though as it got me through a really rough time and I’m truly grateful for that.
If I needed something again it would be my first choice.
Fingers crossed for you. Been there, had awful side effects and none worked. SNRI landed me in emergency ☹️
Good luck, and do reach out if you need any interwebs support ❤️
