Hi there, I started on Setraline 100mg mid May after 6 weeks on Citalopram which wasn't working as well as it should. I also take 25mg of Quetaipine at night to help sleep. The 100mg was ok but my GP upped it to 150mg as I was still not on an even keel. There have a few times over the last 6 months where I felt-yes I'm coming out of the tunnel but then i have another dip & that terrifys me .. I turned up to work every day apart from a couple of days when i was extremely tired & panicky . I continued to go to the gym lost a load of weight which was the result of this & not eating due to anxiety-people said I'm looking great & inside I am at one of the lowest points in my life-struggled with weight for years but would rather be fat & feeling positive. Saying all this i have had good days where I feel "safe" & I can also recognise that a few of my very awful days were when I had too much drink the night before & the stress of trying to cover up how desperate I was feeling.I do feel they are giving me just enough of a lift to get through some days & other days are suprisingly ok. .After years of denial that after each recovery from anxiety & depression that this would be the last time-this is going to be a life long project of acceptance, self care & monitoring. I am dealing with my parents nearing the end of their lives & the guilt I feel about my mums dementia. Today has been ok so keep going & reach out on here-people are always kind & supportive in my experience.
