Worsening depression after starting meds

2017-12-20 09:38:05
I just got put on antidepressants and ever since I started taking them I've gotten way worse. I'm constantly seconds away from a panic attack, suicidal thoughts are frequent, and I can't stop crying. It was bad before but it's 10x worse now.

Hope you are taking the medication as per doctor's advise. If so, go back to your doctor; as the doctor who is treating will be in a better position to adjust the dosage or change the medication. Don't stop the medication without doctor's advise,  there will be withdrawal symptoms which are risky in some cases. Please do not take any medication without doctor's advise.
