I just feel lazy, thought maybe anti-depressants would motivate me more in life. Right now I use caffiene for a kick, but I hate the jitters. My body doesn't like too much caffiene.

I've had panic disorder since I was 16. It only got bad enough to do something about recently, and I've been on paxil for 3mos. It works very well for me. I started feeling better about week 2 and it pretty much erased any vestiges of my PD by week 3 and 4.
The only downside, as noted above, is that it makes drinking alot way too easy.
Delayed orgasm is an almost universal side effect, but unless you consider being able to fuck for hours on end a bad thing, its tolerable.
I would just make sure you really need it before starting. SOme doc's will write scripts for SSRI's like they're fucking candy for anyone who says they've felt a little down or lazy lately. They are powerful drugs and if you don't really have an imbalance in your brain that needs to be fixed, you're gonna get all the side effects with very little benefit.
