I have had depression most of my life.  I do not beieve in Anti-depressants, but recently due to a lot of unpleasant things happening to me primarily due to other people taking advantage of my vunerable status, I have become desperate with ill feeling, depression & anxiety.  I went to the doctors I am already on a rolling prescription of valium & she has given me this mirt.  After reading the revues it sounds truly disgusting stuff that I dont even want to try given what I have read, I already struggle to sleep & struggle to get up and feel suicidal.  And from what I have read, this stuff is just going to make matters worse.  She said it would calm me & releive the panic attacks.  Advice welcome.  Good luck with low self esteeem too folks.  As George Harrison said "when your down thats when they start kicking"

    I find that alcohol has a neutralising effect on any anti depressive medication....you know doubt have heard the cliche that alcohol is a depressant. So really you have to try and reduce or stop drinking which I know may be difficult but is necessary to give the medication a chance to be effective. I also seem to experience night sweating with Mirt and alcohol. I am sure you will enjoy your holiday in India even though you feel apprehensive about it at the moment

      Yes I know for a fact, after the trip I will be very proud of myself, I just always consider myself on the verge of a nervous breakdown & I have been bitterly betrayed by a number of friends last year, so I am particularly sensitive & nervous.  This site has been very reassuring & it ias good to see I am not the only sufferer
