Plus, I also have a cold which is dragging me down anyway.
It's frustrating. I'm totally secure in my sobriety and trying to make things happen rather than just sit tight and hope for the best. But progress is slow.

Colds drag me very low, also. How long have you had the cold?

Are the doctors confident that the initial side effects for the AD will, in fact, go away?

I had a similar issue with Zoloft when I tried to start taking that in January, but that adverse reaction was much more severe. It worked out well as it gave me a jump start in sobriety as I was so ill I couldn't drink for a week. In the process of going back to the doctor I decided to try to work on the drinking side of things instead. And here I am 115 days sober.

Hope that you continue to adjust to the new med, friend.
