I have been talking matrazapine for 6 weeks, in this time I split with my partner which made me hit rock bottom.
Finally feeling a little bit more human and managing to get through the day but the matrazapine is making me stuff my face with food in the evenings, I even wake up during the night feeling hungry.
I am quite conscious of my weight, over the past 2 years I have got my weight down and have eaten healthy, I go to the gym, walk and swim to keep trim, I guess it's a bit of an addiction. In the past when I have been depressed I stop eating as a kind of control thing (I know it's not healthy and I have been hospilised in the past). The fact I am stuffing my face is making me anxious about weight gain, I'm struggling with the gym because I don't have enough motivation. I want. To come off the matrazapine so last night I halved my dose, today I feel rubbish (down and borderlining tearful). So it seems I either have to carry on taking them and get fat, or I stop and risk a breakdown.
I have an appointment with the mental health team on wed so I can ask them what to do but I'm scared they will advise me to carry on taking the meds.i really don't want to be on medication to make me happy, I want life to make me happy, I want to be the person I was 18 months ago.
