Treatment and medication

I’ve given into the dreaded antidepressants. I’ve managed my depression for the last 5 years with exercise. However I thought, could I really go on battling for another 40+years. Not really. I’m a strange case. I suffer Hughes and lows. 6 months happy. 4 months lows. I said I was bipolar, but my GP says not and this it’s just me being normal and feeling good, when I think I’m high on life.
so I’ve started 14 days ago. not really had severe side effects apart from the loss of appetite to start with. but then I feel its a feeling of emptiness in my stomach (is this lack of food or anxiety) I’ve now started with a knot in my stomach and really bad morning anxiety. I’ve never suffered with anxiety, so this is obviously a side effect. Had a bad couple of days yesterday and Monday. I made sure I went to work today as I felt myself going into a deeper hole. I always feel better around tea time though. This started only just a few days of starting the medications.
Hoping for type of energy soon, when I get energy I can cope and go to the gym. Its the zapping of energy that kills me. Then it spirals.
