    Nothing makes sense in the world of depression and anxiety!!! I have tried to work out why it has happened in a big way to me, but nothing has hit me yet, I spent alot of time in and out of hospital years ago but thank goodness for now I havent been in hospital for about 6 years, although last year was a very testing time but the crisis team stepped in and between them and my husband I managed to stay out also I think they didnt have any beds here, and I didnt want to go anywhere.

    I had my psychiatry appointment middle of October, it should have been September or when I needed it before as I am coming off Diazepam, it will take about a year for that, but I have had no support so have now hit a brick wall!!!!

    Can someone help me please? I take Propranolol 10mg, once 3 times a day and I think I might of accidentally taken 4 instead of 3. Am I gonna be okay? I also have a fear that I woke up at 7am, took Propranolol, went back to bed and then took it again at 7:15 or 7:30 and that's making me feel anxious.

      Hi Thomas, I hope you are alright and have woken up this morning feeling ok, I am not a doctor but I am sure 1 tablet more hopefully wont hurt you, I hope you got some sleep and you wasnt to anxious about the tablet mix up if you did take one extra, I now put my tablets in those strips for a week and morning, dinner, tea, and night, other wise I know when I am having a bad day and suddenly think have I taken my tablets I know instanley that I have or havent taken them, prehapes it would be wise for you to buy one, you can get them in a chemist or other stores.

      I'm okay thanks and tonight I've taken my 1st 50mg Sertraline tablet after being on 1\2 a tablet for a week and I must say I'm feeling a bit better.

      I must be one lucky a**hole because I've had no side effects from Sertraline and its got rid of most of my anxiety symptoms and the one's that haven't been eliminated don't happen as often as before. How long should I stay on Sertraline for? I've been on it for nearly a month.

    Hi Thomas, well done for trying the Sertraline and successeding in feeling better. Really pleased to hear.  As for how long you should take it for depends on your doctor's orders, please dont stop now just because you feel better, you must carry on taking it.  Just dont stop taking it now, carry on taking it and get really better before even seeing your doctor and of course dont just stop you will have to come off gradually. Keep going, really pleased for you.

      It's been a while but the Sertraline worked! It got rid of all my symptoms so I'm coming off it now as instructed by my GP and he also said to take propranolol once a night and I agree as it has a calming effect and this helps me sleep. He also said to take it as and when needed such as before a presentation.

      Its nice to hear from you Thomas23086, and you are taking your doctors advice. I had to come off sertraline, and now on duploxetine, not alot different but not the side-effects. I have been rough, but thats the time of year.  Keep going Thomas, its really great to hear from you again, I havent been on the website for a while, as my thoughs where not good, have surved that like you, we have to just keep plodding on
