Hi all I've sufferd with anxiety and depression for 20 years,I was on Sertainline for 4 years, came off April 16 to fast a tamper,

I might add. August 16 depression returned. Jan 17 went docs the last six months have been hell on earth, I was at this point functioning, sleeping, working, looking after my daughter. I was put on 5 different antidepressants which turned me into a insomniac, wired manic, wreck, couldn't cope or sleep for more than few hours, even with zopiclone and phenagan, thought I was losing my mind .was admitted to hospital for 3 days.

I was then put on mirtazapine 15mg then up to 30mg 5 weeks ago, I have now managed to get my sleep back and felt myself improve,

Now bang last few weeks I've been hit with dark deep depression and anxiety in mornings, suicidal. I'm worn out, mood usually lifts in evening and I'm full of hope but then bang as soon as I open my eyes next day, there again

Feel the meds are poinsion me?

Anyone else had this morning depression and anxiety, ? Did it pass?

    Hi, I have had chronic anxiety / depression for six years and always find its worse in a morning. Currently on 150 Sert 5 Diaz plus Zopiclone as rqd.

    I am finding therapy via psycotherapist is helping me uncover root causes of anxiety depression and am confident we will progress to a coping plan.

    Maybe councelling would help you find and manage the root cause ?..

    I certainly did after i tapered off my sertraline 50 mg which i was on for 4 years. It was the same for me too but i was still functioning though my appetite was almost nonexistant. Now i restarted and been on it 11 days and feeling a lot better. I dont think i will go off it anytime in the future. Scared out of my mind. Dont worry hang in there. It will improve.

    Hi sparkle,

    I recently started fluoxitine, after 2 weeks I upped my dose from 20mg to 40mg (with my docs concent)

    I only usually get anxiety and panic attacks at night time when I'm trying to sleep but this morning I've had 3 panic attacks already and they don't seem to be going anywhere anytime soon.

    I usually look forward to getting up and starting a new day because it's the only time I'm ok, now even that's been taken away from me.

    I don't know what else to do. Doc offered me diazepam but I've had quite a bit over the past month and don't want to get addicted so I declined, at my worst all I can do is beat myself up for turning it down but I know eventually I have to deal with my issues and diazepam is just putting them off until later.
