ive depression, had it bout 5 years. doctors changed my meds as i was getting violent outbursts. new meds gave me more down days then good. so she changed them again but i still have more down then good days. all i want to do is be on my own or in bed all day. ive sleepless nights where thoughts just roam my head and i cant make sense of them. my mind seems to race all night

    You

    have my deepest sympathy-do you also suffer with anxiety ?

    I am in a anxiety state all the time which is doubly debilitating.

    Have just increased my dose of paroxetinefrom 20mg to 30mg second time of trying

    and think ii feel worse but will try to stick it out. Does not seem there is much else we can do.My worst problems are cryi

    ng andshaking .

    I hope you improve soon as we all want to
