Again have been on 20mg Cit for about 13 wks been my old self for about 9 wks. But started again 3 days ago with waking up early with butterflies in stomach now have the toilet trots and today I am almost back to the beginning can't eat or drink no interest in anything and racing brain. Is this normal at such a late stage ? We are locating to a new area to live soon & that is building up in my head with me worrying if we are doing the right thing & Will I Be happy instead if looking on the positive side. I am really scared that this is happening & I can't seem to control it & it so unfair to my lovely husband. Would Be grateful for any support. Thank you

    Stick with it Linda. I'm going through the same thing and I have been advised that. Eventually and hopefully things will get back to normal. Sure is a hard journey getting there though!!!

      I have been trying to recover from depression and anxiety for 2 years. Cit didn't work for me and neither did 7 other meds. I'm on wellbutrine now but I don't know what to think. I start to feel better than I crash and have no motivation or interest in anything. Not even family. Any suggestions?

      You have to give it time. Not sure about how Wellbutrine works but I know all these meds do take awhile. Think positive, exercise a bit if ur able and make a recovery plan. Things will get better.

      Perhaps u shud go see a phychiatrist then. Let him know the meds uve tried, for how long and so on. Worth a try.

      I do see a pdoc. I am scared that I have treatment resistant depression at this point. I was fine for 52 years of my life and the past two years have been a nightmare

      Have you tried any homeopathic remedies? A chiropractor? Acupuncture? Try everything. Have them check your hormone levels. Keep trying. Don't give up. You are worth it.
