seafree Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 I need some advice! I've been through just about every antidepressant in the book- ok so not quite. Prozac, Sertraline, Mirtazapine, Citalopram, Zispin...you name it. The only one thats made the slightest difference and given me a lift has been the citalopram. However, the downfall to this is that i cant sleep- argggghhhhhh. With every other med the side effects have been horrendous, i have none on this other than it makes me feel like i've necked a full jar of coffee. But that's great! I feel alive! But i don't want to be feeling alive and crawling the walls 24 hours a day 7 days a week! I get so addicted to sleeping tablets so thats a no go area too. I daren't ask my GP for something else although i'm not on anything at the moment (silly Jess took herself off them) so it shouldn't really matter should it?

Lily-Bee Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 It can be such a struggle can´t it to find meds that work for you.My advise would be to see if you can see a psychiatrist about this, can your GP refer you?The thing is that psychiatrists just know more about these kind of meds and what might help you then most GPs do.I myself have been on 14 different kind of meds until I met a psychiatrist who decided that maybe I didnt need an anti depressant but an anti psychotic and it worked! It has helped me in many ways.Im not saying you also need an anti psychotic, Im not a doctor. Im just saying a psychiatrist might have better idea´s about what to try then a GP does.Lilly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
