Yeah, I was on antidepressants for about 5 minutes for my migraines--BAD reaction for me! Worse than the migraines (and that's saying something!)

Personally, if it isn't more than just inconvenient, I'd do exactly what you're doing and avoid the meds.

(Note: this is totally my limited experience, and I do think that antidepressants can be lifesavers! I'm not anti-meds.)

So how do you handle those "twitchy" days? It seems like it would be hard given that you have a child.
