When does it get better

Posted , 6 users are following.

Been off ven for 2 months now and feeling so unwel. I was on antidepressants for over 32 but nothing ever worked so was put on ven as my doc said it was good for treatment resistant depression and anxiety but the side effects were horrendous. It took me a year to taper down off it and I took my last smallest possible dose 2 months ago. I thought that by now I would be feeling better, my depression and anxiety have gone through the roof and I feel so tired all the time and just complete in interested in anything is just a constant struggle. I really don't think I can stand another day of this, going back on antidepressents is not an option as I have taken every AD under the sun but all I get is bad side effects and no benifits. I have done everything I can possibly do to help myself in the last 7 years I have given up alcohol, smoking and caffeine and eat a healthy diet it all seems pointless as I know feel worse than ever in fact I'm sure that all them years on ADs has caused me permanent brain damage I would rather be dead than carry on feeling like this

    Sorry its been a few days for response, but hope you get better support from christian counseller x

    Life is so hard at times, but hopefully we will all get better and help/support to look forward and focus on happier days ahead. I know it may sound daft but have you ever thought about stones, amethyst etc which have healing for different illnesses and parts of body, if you have a wander into one of those shops or google healing stones you will get more info, just a thought xx sending a hug x
