Feeling Bad today 😢

Bless you Angie....

But your all to aware what other people say about this drug as you have read up on them, maybe even mine...

Iv suffed  with depression for around 15/16 years now, I'm 53..

For 14 of those years I was on trazadone which help me a lot, and I didn't suffer with side effects either, and also let me had a good nite sleep, but 18 mth ago my body shut down to working on these tablets so came off them, I was put on mirtazapine for 6mth which gave me really bad nite mares, that would wake me up all the time scarred out of my head, good job I live on my own lol...

Now I'm on flux 60mg, I started on 20mg then 40 now this dose, and like every one says it's hell on earth at the being of taking this meds, which it was for me, I throught I'd never get to where I am now, as each day was a struggle.... but 3mths down the line I do feel a lot better, the depression as levelled out now, so I don't dread each day to come, but I do have odd days where I'm low, but I'm fighting the menopause at the moment so putting down to that 😩....

But I'm glad I stuck this med out, as for ME it as worked, but must stress it doesn't always work for others.... I would of rather stayed on trazadone as it was good for me, but that's life...

I do hope u will have more and more good days, keep going, uv come this far now, things will level its self out I'm sure...

Good luk and I'm always here if you want to bend my ear and listen to you...

Tomorrow is another day, Big hugs 🤗X

Angie,

I feel your pain! I have been battling the past 5 months and I too am so tired... 

Why have you stopped Fluox and started again? What is the reason you are taking Fluoxetine? 

Cheer Up! We can get thru this!!! 

Hi Angie,

I understand how you are feeling. I was on flou for 25 years then I had a drug interaction and switched to cipralex then Zoloft over a four year span. I had another drug interaction which stopped my meds working and went into complete withdrawl. I spent 4 months in hospital trying to work things out. I ended up going back on flou as my doctor said it would be new to my system again. I had every kind of side effect there was. Hi anxiety, worse depression, extreme nausea, the shakes, aches, confusion, crying etc.  There were many times I didn't want to go on with the pain. I wanted it all to stop. But I came on this site and found so many wonderful, supportive people who had or were going through the same thing. It helped to make me feel not so alone. They listened to my fears, upset, complaining, confusion and gave me hope. I am now 4 months restarting the flou and since week four for me it has gotten much better. I still have some anxiety when waking up but that's about it. I have many good days now and don't stress when I'm having a difficult one. Everyone out there has good and bad days. That's part of life. Try and be patient and kind to yourself. Find something everyday to be thankful for. Keep busy, exercise. I found those things to help me the most. Sitting around made my depression and anxiety worse. Remember you are not alone in this journey and you will get better. It will take some time but worth it when you can really start enjoying life. Please chat here if you are having a difficult day. Take care

Hi Ladies, how are you all? I hope and pray you are all feeling much better as for me, im up and down, still on 20ml of flux, smoothed have slowed down a bit, im not as anxious as i was when i wrote the above, however each day is a struggle, i did have a few days last week where i felt myself, so hopefully Im actually getting better, however I am considering increasing my dose, as i know this has worked for others, but i am scared to be honest, but just want to get better! Been suffering from fatigue for a couple of days, but stepped up with my folic acid/iron tablet, and feeling a little more energized today ( need to be as doing a 12hr shift !!! ) Gosh I have been feeling a little inspired by the amount of ppl on here saying they are now well, I really carnt see how my brain fog, beating heart, and despair ect, ect can ever be the same again....... But hey........Im still here, so somewhere deep inside I still have the fight.......Ladies, and Gents, as funny as it is, im duty German, and have to go, but will jump back on here later....hope u guys are having a good day...X
