Originally diagnosed with depression/anxiety, now ADHD. 

I have almost instant side effects whenever I take SSRI's and SNRI's (within a couple of hours after starting the first pill). It usually starts off light (little bit fatigued or generally *odd*) and quickly escalates to headaches, increased anxiety, no appetite, lacking focus, feeling shaky and generally ill. 

If I stay on the medication for a couple of days, it continues to get worse and starts including a lot of the "expected" side effects (i.e. no sex drive). I've kept taking the medication, often for 3-6 months, but the side effects DO NOT GO AWAY. They either continue to get worse or stay the same. 

I've had bad reactions to: 

* Zoloft 
* Strattera
* Prozac 
* Celexa 
* A couple of others I don't remember the name of. 

I've tried to do some research but I can't find anything on medication hypersensitivity. I don't exhibit any external symptoms (rash, sores) but no matter what I try it causes extreme mental side effects. 


I can take Adderal/Ritalin and experience very few side effects. Valium works as expected. Antibiotics, OTC medication and multivitamins are fine. It's literally just SSRI's and SNRI's that cause this reaction. I don't understand it. 


My doctor either thinks I'm lying or being dramatic. They refuse to listen and keep parroting the "keep going and your body will get used to it".
