I don't know if the "candy" you're taking acts like some of the others, so maybe this won't apply (and I hope it doesn't). When I started my candy (paroexetine a.k.a. Paxil over here), there was a period of time after about a week where I felt worse than I had before I started taking it. But that went away and things went up by two weeks. Just to let you know that it is a passing thing and if you find yourself afflicted, it'll pass -- just get a buddy or some chocolate or something.

The Christmas Pudding sounds good. Especially with a drop of cognac.
