Each person reacts differently to meds.
Please don't make a decision based on any one person's experience; yours could be quite different.
You and your doctor are a team in your health care. I hope you feel free enough to discuss everything with him/her openly. That includes any questions, concerns and fears. Then, when a decision is made, follow through and pay attention to *your* experiences with the medication. Your body will let you know how you tolerate it -- or not.
That's not to say that common experiences should be ignored. For example, Welbutrin is an antidepressant that gives many people relief. But, one of the common side effects is an increase in anxiety. So, if a person has difficulty in that area to begin with, it's probably not a good idea to use that particular antidepressant. And there's plenty of others to choose from.
Common sense, team work with your physician and listening to your own body will go a long way towards your recovery. I wish you well....
Shalom!
