i've been on these meds now for 3 years and they help me a lot.
I know it can be horrible when going on antidepressants but they do work, they say it takes 4 to 8 weeks for you to feel the full benifits but this also applies to when your dosage is increased.
You're feeling the side effects again i'm affraid and this means 4 to 6 weeks before they settle down again.
Best advice is try not to let it get you down as much as possible and just keep telling yourself it will get better.
I take Propranolol because it's a Beta Blocker, read up on them, they are what stops my body releasing adrenaline which is the source of a panic attack, and i mean it stopped my panic attacks that i've been having for over 10 years every night dead in their tracks, don't get me wrong i've had 3 or 4 panic attacks in these 3 years but it's a flaming damn site better than every night.
These are the only 2 meds i'm on and they brought me back from the brink. I still have anxiety but it's manageable and more to the point i can get a good nights sleep almost every night whereas before i was getting 3 hours tops which didn't exactly help with the depression tbh.
anyway, you will get through this, just think back to when you first started them and how good it was when they settled in the first time, you just have to have that same amount of determination this time.
I wish you all the luck in the world and i hope you believe me when i say it's worth it.
