Struggling

You see your GP in two weeks time, continue with your medication until you have discussed this AD

Allow four or five weeks for the drug too work.

Give yourself time and a chance for the drug to work, Many struggle in the early days, you are not alone

I used to have hallucinations of seeing spiders same as you, but mine was for if I forgot to take my anti-depressants for say 2-3 days, as I forgot quite often, as I have been on like 10-12 tablets a day sometimes,

Hi I was offered antidepressants a few months back after struggling with PTSD counselling sessions. I said no. Here's why. I have IBS, I am already having counselling and am doing yoga too. I am scared of ever taking any antidepressants -,they all bugger up your bowel and head! No more, come off them. That's all!

That bad dreaming of spiders must be a common thing for certain medications, as I get the same bad, wake up sweaty from dreaming about spiders everywhere and all over me, and also I've had the same one but it's kittens and they're all scratching me, these happen if I forget a anti-depressant for a couple of days, which is easy for me to do, as I take a few tablets 3-4 times a day, so sometimes I forget what I have and haven't took, it's just strange the same dreams concerning anti-depressants. They don't work for me amyway

I have been back to gp and saw a different dr. Was told the hallucinations are normal and should subside. I felt the dr hadnt any idea why i am feeling as i am, i really couldnt be bothered explaining things again and just took the script. Im not sure whether i will ever feel that things will get better. I came out feeling even more of a failure .
