A member asked:
When switching antidepressant meds, can it be normal to feel sad / anxious in the beginning?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The symptoms of coming off, changing, or adding a new medicine can vary. Having your symptoms may be completely normal and will likely resolve over time, but if they continue or worsen, you will need to see your doctor.
