I've just started taking Seroxat tablets. Does anyone else think that they

are one of the vilest medicines? If so, how did you cope with the side-effects?

If you mean vilest tasting medicines, this is done to stop children wanting to take it unnecessarily.

Side effects of most medications don't last for ever, your body should adjust to them.

yes, I took them for a while ad felt worse than I ever have, then I saw a documetary on the horrendous side effects and how it was making so many people suicidal (which is stupid for an antidepressant!) and with the help of my doctor I came off them (more nasty side effects ) and ever since have felt so much better, my advice would be to wean yourself off them, ask your doc for a regime to cut them down. I would never take antidepressants again, would rather sort the problems out than hide them in a fog. Hope this helps a little

This is for depression isn't it! i've had them and they were horrible. Felt like i was walking round in a tunnel and couldn't focus properly or concerntrate. I took myself off them after a few days because they were doing more harm than good. Tried St John's Wart after that and they suited me fine.
Sometimes some medicines just aren't for everyone.
