    Side effects when you first take them are pretty horrible but definitely worth persevering. I take Seroxat (also paroxetine) for anxiety and it's just been brilliant (though not all anti depressants work for everyone, my sister does better on citalopram for example). I found starting off on half a tablet easier than going for the whole thing. And they just make you want to sleep and I got pretty nauseous too, so I took them about an hour before bed for the first month. But once you're used to them you don't even know you're taking it. I even lost a bit of weight because I wasn't comfort eating crisps all the time!
