I went a few months back because I was certain I had depression. After telling the doctor how I felt and explained my situation I was just prescribed some meds. I'm not sure how depression is diagnosed, but I'm sure this is not the way. I was just prescribed some meds extremely quick the exact same day as first visit and started taking them.
After the first month I felt nothing because the first batch of meds is a low dose on purpose because it's depression meds and has to be built up in dose. After I went up in dose I started to notice the side effects the main being my sexual relationship with my girlfriend. This was a normal side effect I knew that going in. I then started to get a rash on my hands that made my hands very rough and dry looking 24/7. I then called the doctors office one day to ask if this was a side effect from the meds. I missed the doctor on the phone so the receptionist called me back and said the doctor said "no it's not a side effect and not to worry". Fast forward to me wanting to get off the meds because it was affecting my relationship with my girlfriend. My last interaction with a nurse they told me "the rash on hands would clear up after meds were out of my system".
So my question is: How is it not a side effect like I was told but it'll clear up after meds are out of my system? Kind of describes side effect by definition does it not?
So yea I'm never going back here again.
