Ive hit that brick wall again fighting with my own mind again. Ive now been on reduced dose 7.5 of mirt for about 7 weeks after too manu side effects on 15mg but this last week or so ive been struggling and fighting feeling very low. I was put on mirt in oct last year due to severe depression which seems to come on with a stressful event in ny life. This one being the death of my mum. Im a 42 yr old sinlge mum of 3 teenage boys. It helped hugely as id lost such a lot of weight and had a total breakdown but unfortunatly 15mggave me awful sode effects awful side effects. They tried upping to 30mg but this caused severe anxiety Ive always been very sensitve to medication. Prior to this i was on dosulepin for about 7 yrs but it pooped out on me big style. Im at a loss now as this horrible feeling of utter doom has crept back. Is this because 7.5mg is just not working for me. Im constantly tired and wake up several times mind racing almost like im having a fight inside my own head!

    I agree with Kelly. A good anti depressant kicks in quiet quickly. Right now I am not on medication because the medication that I took was banned here. My doctor recommended prescriptions that are not effective and gave severe side effects. However in spite of suffering I could manage without tablets. I have learned to accept my anxiety as part of me such as feeling hungry all the time. Seems the disorder has worsened but I, learned to live. Living with 3 teenage sons may be the most stressful for any lady. Always remember things will change. Just hang in there.
