Hi Intro
I've been on SSRI medication with Neurontin, Trazodone for years. I also have been in behavioral counseling for years. All that dose help with managing my mood. I know the ups and downs even with med's. Yes the side effects are strange sometimes for me too.
I hope you can adjust to your medication like I have.
Remember: harmful substances can counter the effects of your med's and can exasperate mental illness symptoms.
