hi everyone

so ive had depression on and of since i was 18 .

i was on paroxetine back then for about 1 year, it eventually stopped working and i changed to citalopram which worked well for awhile then stopped so ended up on lexapro which was fatastic up until 9 months ago when i had a major breakdown. major panic disorder tried a number of meds which didn't work then finally i decided ill try paroxetine again, major mistake!!! i went from 20mg to 40mg and it didn't help so went back to my psychiatrist who has given me nortyriptaline and after weaning of paroxetine for two weeks just started the new med a week ago. now im having major withdrawals from the paroxetine! feel really depressed and not myself, anxious, want to cry all the time and basically cant deal with anything at the moment. i have four kids and am trying to stay strong but its so hard! really hoping this ends soon and the new meds kick in because this is to much!!!

has anyone tried nortyriptaline before? i feel so hopless!!! any advice?

thanks
