I don't take antidepressants, but had tried 3 different ones and the anxiety at a low dose they gave me was unbelievable. They gave me tightness in chest and panic attacks and gastric distress, My doctor told me to stick it out for a few more weeks, but there was just no way..

I had upset stomach and diarrhea, I thought perhaps the tightness in chest was from the terrible anxiety the drugs have me, but it could have been acid reflux. Do these drugs help you in any way?
