I’ve heard people complain about the jitters on Prozac and Zoeloft.

From my experience only (i.e. may not be the same for everyone) but the jitters end shortly (usually in a matter of weeks).

Cannot stress strongly enough the power of slowly building a cardio exercise program along side the meds. I started with walking, then to hiking some trails, and then to mountain biking. Even my doctor thought the improvement was astounding.

After a few months of exercise, I noticed my body beginning to feel stronger...and my mind/mood shifted upward to a new level. It took quite a while before I could recognize that I was winning my battle with my depression, but it saved my life in the end.

Both exercise and meds lift the blood serum serotonin level--which lifts the mood and leaves you feeling as though you in fact do have some power over your miserable state.
