Ulrica Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Some anti-d's can make you feel worse and some take a long time to get the desired effect, some can even cause suicidal thoughts in the beginning etc... And yes you can get withdrawal from them and no it has nothing to do with you as a person being addicted to them but your body needs time adjusting to you not being on them. I think what's important to remember is that all meds work differently on everyone and maybe this anti-d isn't right for you. Perhaps talking to your GP or pdoc about it and see if they can try another one.On another note, I found meds made me worse but more so because I lost contact with my emotions completely, I'm off them (apart from when I need something to help me sleep) since 1,5 and feel better for it. I also got a manic episode induced by an anti-d that I know works for a lot of people so again, maybe trying another type will help you more. But again, that's just me.You have to do what's right for you and what feels right for you, no matter what anyone else thinks (says).Hope I helped a little bit.Take care of yourself.Ulrica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
