Yes, antidepressants may exacerbate symptoms. Everyone is different when it comes to how they will be effected. Always talk with your prescribing doctor to make sure that negative side effects are well controlled.
Hello there

Some antidepressants are known to making you feel different what some people may consider being “more emotional.”For instance Wellbutrin is known to increase suicidal ideation due to the energy that it gives people. You might want to consult with your psychiatrist and make sure they are monitoring you so that they ensure that the medication is working.
