2 years ago I was struck by a car which resulted in a TBI that I still deal with from time to time. Early on I was prescribed different anti-depressants (and anti-seizure meds) as a prophylaxis and they were beyond terrible. I've probably tried 1/2 dozen and each one made life a chore. Overall numbness, sleeplessness, insomnia, minor depression, etc. In the end I decided I'd rather deal with the occasional debilitating headache than be on that sort of medication.
My heart goes out to the people with MDD that deal with these side effects as part of their daily routine.
