it was definitely worth it for me when I was on it. antidepressants have never done everything for me that I Wished they could, but it still makes enough of a difference that at this point I’m wary of going unmedicated as for how it feels, for me it’s like everything just starts to “hurt” less, without having a totally “numbing” effect. relieves a little of the gloom I feel, helps me push myself through the day, reduces my sense of bitterness
imo it’s perfectly sensible to feel cautious of starting new psych meds! but you should be able to start off on a low dose so as to ease into it & keep initial short-term side effects to a minimum, and if at any point you dislike how it affects you, you can always tell your prescriber & stop taking it / wean off
