I'd taken tri-cyclic meds for years with no success and had CBT and counselling, but never really felt comfortable with it. Â The new SSRI meds made me feel ill with side effects, but what was the alternative ... the depression/anxiety I had or continue on the new meds. Â I continued and couldn't believe it as I started to feel better and back to being the me I used to be.

It's thought that SSRIs work by increasing the levels of a chemical called serotonin in the brain.
Serotonin is a neurotransmitter (a messenger chemical that carries signals between nerve cells in the brain). It's thought to have a good influence on mood, emotion and sleep.
After carrying a message, serotonin is usually reabsorbed by the nerve cells (known as 'reuptake'). SSRIs work by blocking ('inhibiting') reuptake, meaning more serotonin is available to pass further messages between nearby nerve cells.
Ametriptyline is a tri-cyclic type of anti-depressant which are different to SSRI's. Â I used to take a tri-cyclic but it didn't do anything for me. Â SSRI's helped me recover. Â SSRI's take a long time to work and you need to be very persistent ... very persistent.

Go and have a great time - relax, do things, have fun. Â You'll take your illness with you and you'll bring it home with you - but that's fine, expect it to be with you whilst you recover.
Have a great time :-)

No I can't say I ever got a tense throat and neck, though know the meds affect people in different ways. Â The only time I've ever got a tense throat was if I've taken the tablet without any liquid ... just swallowed it. Â On those occasions it's started taking effect and made my throat go really tense. Â I've heard some people get a really tense jaw too.

Glad as the holiday was a success. Â We have to try and carry on as normally as we can whilst waiting for medication to start working.
i remember years ago when I was having a really tough time and I broke down in front of a friend, she said 'you're going on holiday next week, I'm sure you'll have a great time and come back all refreshed and better'. Â Better? Â If only she knew!!
Getting back into routine will be good. Â
Yes each dose increase take a while to settle. Â Have you thought of relaxation class or yoga to help with the head and neck tension? Â Hope goes well at the doctors.
