I can really understand; the first while of taking them I felt awful...not because SE's, but because it was LITHIUM.
I was embarassed getting a refill, having the pharmacist know I was on it.
But, as i started to feel the benefit of it, those feelings eased. It just didn't matter anymmore, because I felt so much better!
If it is suggested, do try it. I know it is an old drug, but it's been around for a reason.
I think they use it initially because of so few side effects and because ppl seem to respond well to it.
Good luck and I'm really glad you are feeling better about the idea.
