Every time someone in my family has been prescribed an SSRI the doctor has listed this side effect, though they don't always use the term. The doctor that I am most fond of in fact lists the side effects in three categories, this one being in the most unlikely one. Then says should it be a problem it can be treated with therapy and benzos. He also mentions that there are options there for how fast they act. A therapist knowing this can offer coping skills. Insomnia can be a problem in particular and for that there are options outside of benzodiazepines. Finally there are non SSRIs available as well. For our family at least it has not been an unmanageable issue.
