Is this side effect normal, or should I stop?

Community insight

While you’re on treatment, guidelines recommend regular symptom check-ins (every 2–4 weeks early on) so you and your clinician can see patterns — not just a single “good” or “bad” day.

My doctor asked how I’ve been. I couldn’t remember.

Starting an antidepressant usually takes weeks, not a single visit, to know if it’s helping. Benefits often appear within about 4 weeks, with early check-ins around the first 2 weeks — so feeling “not sure yet” in the first month is common.

Week 4 felt great. Week 5 was terrible. I thought it stopped working.

Physical discontinuation symptoms (dizziness, sleep changes, “brain zaps”) can last days to weeks and don’t always mean your depression is returning. Guidelines recommend monitoring mood and function and contacting your clinician if symptoms worsen or persist — restarting or adjusting care isn’t a failure.

Nobody warned me that tapering would feel like this.

Stopping antidepressants can cause withdrawal (discontinuation) symptoms — often more common than people expect, especially after abrupt stops or shorter-acting drugs. Major guidelines now treat slow tapering, monitoring, and patient education as standard care.

Track Every Symptom

Every day, you log how you're feeling — mood, energy, sleep, and those symptoms. Over time, patterns emerge: what's improving, what's lingering, what spikes before your period or after a rough night.

From people who've been there

Currently on sertraline, 3 months

«I was convinced it stopped working at week 5. Looking back at my Claro data, I can see exactly what happened — and why it was actually the medication doing its job.»

Tapering from Effexor, month 2

«My psychiatrist said it was the best appointment summary she’d seen from a patient. She actually changed her recommendation based on what I’d tracked.»

First week on escitalopram

"I was scared to start. Having something to track made the first two weeks feel less like chaos."
