Both. Anti-depressants alone, without help from an IC to learn the new thinking process you need to overcome what caused the depression, typically prove to be ineffective.
Yes, the first couple weeks of being on an AD can be rough. I had a lot of nausea. It's because we have seratonin receptors in our stomachs; fortunately it only takes about two weeks to get past that stage. If it lasts longer than that, I think one should contact their Dr to try a different type, or strength. Everyone reacts to them differently.
Just take care. Sleeping too much or too little, are both signs of depression.
I cannot complain for not receiving from others, that which I've never asked them for.
