After some advice if anybody has a similar experience. I was on Citalopram for quite some time but it stopped working quite so effectively so my doctor changed my onto Fluoxetine (Prozac).
Anyway, I've had terrible problems with this new tablet particularly not being able to sleep at all, so I've come off them and am currently on the 2 week period getting them out of my system before I can try anything else. And when I'm on my new tablets that will take about a month to kick in.
So my problem is I feel absolutely awful, so low and unhappy, I really feel the walls are closing in on me and am struggling to cope. Does anybody know if there is any interim treatment that might help me such as the prescription of sedatives to get me through this bad period before my next lot of antidepressants kick in? I am going to see my GP tomorrow but they can be unhelpful so wondered if anybody else knew what sort of options might be available.
I'm returning to work after mat leave next Monday and time off is not an option but I am feeling increasingly desperate and am worried how I will cope.
