When will this get better 😥

you dont need a script just say how you feel, youre bound to feel rubbish with all the changes you have made x

Yeah but he might wanna give me something you know its my first visit.

its withdrawal! you feel like this mainly because of meds!

Hey toria i think i have another disorder.

Im scared potato.

if you have so have i as everything youve mentioned i have or have had x

I never had this in my life .

those are side effects from meds.wether withdrawals or current.

Oh ok lois . What should i say to psychiatrist today?

I think some other disorder and they might think so too.

I think i hear stuff and weird thoughts too . Like my mind is on overdrive.

Im on zoloft 25 mg for 4 days.

This is unreal.

yes you will have audio and visual hallucinations from these meds .is just normal .some folks get them some folks dont .we just happen to be the unfortunate ones .because the millions of folks that dont get side effects at all dont post on any forum.and the ones that do suffered from side effects are busy on forums.so it has nothing to do with a different disorder.trust n believe is the meds.

Hey Lois! Did you get them a lot?

Its hard to tell someone this is hard to beleive i hear this and that.

They think you know what.

Dont know how to tell someone this who believes me.

Oh well.

yup.i got them from start ups and withdrwals .not pleasant and yes they go away.if all the crap from antid.meds did not go away i would not be taking them.at least for me all the side effects went away.trust me i had side effects everything in the book.you tell your phychiatrist what you are telling us.and let him give you medical advise .what ever you do dont get any prescribtion for added meds.time is of the essence.took me 8months these meds take a along while to work.none of these meds are a quick fix.

He might want to up my dose of zoloft .

We shall see.

Actually, we are not doctors but we refer our suggestions to what you tell us. But we dont know your actual mental state ( meaning all whats going on).

You should explain to your doctor how your every functionning is affect, how sensitive you seem to be with side effects of meds and withdrawal, asking for not being put into med change spiraling, asking for reassurance, telling your symptoms of depression and anxiety. Anyway, he will ask you lots of questions in order to give a diagnosis.

But tell him how anxious you are about med and side effects. If you want, prepare a note pad and pen and write what questions you have and write down the answers...

good luck with your appointment, im off to bed x

has anyone heard from potato? x

no.hope his ok.

i know its been a while x

hey everybody sorry it's been a while moved house and had no internet for a week. back online now x

how is everyone doing? good I hope.

so I've decided to stay with the 20mg of citalopram and see how I get on from here. it's been about 2 weeks I think. I'm definitely not as good as I was when I was originally on them but I'm definitely a lot better than a few months ago.

my anxiety is still pretty high but my mood for the most part is a lot better. I dont feel as depressed

strange how back on my original dose and dont feel as bad as I did when I changed. I feel like I need to improve more but will wait and see what happens x

hope you are all doing ok x

glad to see youre doing ok, no improvement here so just trooping on x

thanks toria x oh no! I was hoping that you would have improved a fair bit since we last spoke. it doesn't mean anything bad it's just obvious its gonna take a bit of time for you. I really hope its soon for you though x you're doing the right thing by trooping on x it wont be long and I'm sure you will start improving again x

thank you x

glad you are fine.

Hi!

Im also doing fine.

Just finishing packing for family vacations.

Still having fatigue.

My psychiatrist that I saw yesterday prescribed me desipramine as a add on to my lexapro. A tiny dose. But I wont take it. Dint really want to mess me and tricyclic , Im bot really interesse by those.

Glad to hear from all if you?

wonder how Gsquez is doin?

hello lolita hope all is well.you will have more fatigue if you add on that med.have a safe vaca.

same here wondering how gs is getting on too. awww enjoy your vacation hope you have a really good time. hope the fatigue gets better for you but glad you are doing ok x

thank you lois, you doing ok yourself? x

so toria, is your goal to come antidepressants completely or do you think changing would help how you are feeling now?

nooooooooo im coming off no matter what, the cit seems to mimic fibromyalgia i hate it x

you can say that again.yuck

do you get pains lois? im off the doctors on monday (which i hate) as my leg has been really sore for months, think its an injury as i never rest but i get pains everywhere and of course on bad days my mind flying with self diagnosis x

good for you x it's just a shame it's taking so bloody long for you to come off. I forgot you said you had fibro. my mum has it and the pain she is in sometimes is unreal so I do feel for you x

apparently leg pains is pretty common with fibro and they can get pretty bad for weeks-months. if you are doing too much and not resting enough this could definitely be a cause. it is for my mum anyway. hopefully it's nothing serious and is just the fibro x

thats the thing until i went on cit i only had lower back pain so will find out if i have it once im off x

unfortunately yes.at one time i thought i had fibro.but no is a weird pain that comes n goes n travels thru out my body.but i pay it no mind because the benefits out weight those little issues for me.

the thing with ssris is if you slightly hurt your self it magnifies pain to the tenth power.is so bizzare!

thats interesting x

this celexa for sure mimicks fibro or arthritis.

you know what, I've noticed that but I didnt realise it was the SSRI for ages. x

yeah that would probably be the best time to find out. atleast you will have an answer to what might be causing you pain lovely. x

the problem is that doctors want to feed meds for pain they dont realize that is cause by the ssris.so the doctors verbal diagnosed not unless you had an xray and it shows damage is more than likely irrelavant.

i agree, i was given drug after drug for symptoms of bloody drugs x

yes mam.they wont do that to me again.no mam
