Iv been on the 40mgs for about 3 weeks or so now if just come back from holiday I felt so good on holiday didn't have a care in the world an when I would get anxious my mind was kept so busy going out an about with my partner but since iv come back iv gone abit on the down side... been missing my partner (even tho I'm seeing him next week) which is normally but had a few changes at work an sorta been down tryna cope with my mental illness mabe I haven't accepted what I have an I know it takes time.. an plus worry about my mum who had terminal bone cancer but I just wanna know if this is normal to be up on min and enjoying myself then back to normal routeen an down I just think everything has just got me at once!! I get so scared that anything can trigger my depression an anxiety an it's so bloody scary!! Anyone else feel like this?

    this is absolutely normal Lauren because as you say you were in sunshine not a care then reality hits your back to the same old life probably raining back to work I'm always the same and I've been using antidepressants for over twenty years and don't forget they can take 4 to 6 weeks to start working you just have to take one day at a time and hopefully pills will kick in xx

    hi lauren, this sounds normal to my mind. when you go away on holiday all the worries temporarily stop, but once you return reality starts again. i am so sorry to hear about your mum. i think you probably have a lot to contend with. i wish you luck.
