I feel so bad today. The bad thoughts still there. I thought I was getting better as I've usually have a few hours of good but not today. Anyone else had this problem?

    Hang on in there, I am on dau 13 and a week ago I would not have thought I could stick out the side effects, but I have and today has been a good day, hopefully the first of many. It is so, so tough but keep reading this forum,  there is so much good advice and support from people who have been or are going through the same! But most of all, don't give up x

      Did your depression get worse at first? The last couple days I thought I was getting a little better then today BAM bad day and thoughts I just want to cry.

      I felt worse than I did before taking the tablets, but from what I understand that is quite common,  my dr did say i was likely to get worse before I got better, I think that's what makes some people want to stop take them!

       Today I def feel worse. I haven't been taking the recommended dose I started with half they put because I'm super sensitive. Tonight im taking the dose they said. May I ask why your taking them? I have depression and anxiety. I've never been this depressed. I was completely fine 2 weeks ago and then just crashed.

      Hi, yesterday was a good day pretty much all day

       Today has been a bit up and down but still nowhere near as bad as it was this time last week. How about you, feeling any better?

      Try to see your gp tomorrow or go to A&E. It's not uncommon to have these thoughts but it can be very scary, especially If no one explained that it may happen. But just remember they are only thoughts and they will pass. If you can, stay close to someone who understands but if it gets too much go to A&E. Hang on on there Nicole

      No, but I was full of panic and anxiety and I began to understand why people could feel that way.I think it helped that I had been pre  warned by my gp and also because of all the advise on this forum I was able to not allow the panic to run away with me.
