Hi Neville
I'm sorry you're feeling so bad. How long have you been taking the antidepressants? It can take quite a while to get the full effect from them.
If you've been on them for longer than a month I'd go back to your GP and ask to try something different. It can take a few goes to find the right antidepressant for you.
