will often start having suicidal thoughts when the depression is starting to lift and they have more energy but they really aren't feeling better yet. That's the problem with our antidepressants, they take weeks to work well.

The handout isn't that much for people experiencing forgetfulness/borderline dementia. It will perk up your thought processes and make Sunday crosswords a little easier but you probably won't notice much else.

Just keep an eye on your blood pressure, it can raise it in some people. Other than that, it's one of the better drugs and has fewer side effects than most of them.
