I am resistant to use medication as I have always thought that I could handle the day to day stuff on my own. I have recently broken up out of an 8 year relationship and my normal self is non exisitent. I have been dealing with that for almost 10 months but as of late I just cant shake the sad, get motivated. I feel anxious and worried and hang on every minute of the clock.

I have read the side effects, nausea and posssible loss of sex drive? Has this happened with anyone. My Dr. wants me on this medication for a year and since I have resisted any antideppressants in the past I don't want any additonal side effects, my life is already complicated as it is.
