    hi laura i was like that last week - 7 weeks on 20. was really depressed and anxious and emotional after feeling a bit better the week before. everyone has assured me its a blip and part of recovery and lots of people say they get them on and off for months and thats normal

      i think we are all the same - its much harder when youve been feeling a bit better but then crash again. we all start thinking oh no the meds arent working im not going to get any better than this but it will it just takes time
