Hi, I haven't posted on here for a while as I thought I was feeling much better. Had anxiety after DD1 was born but it went pretty quickly after a few months. Got it again after DD2 was born and was prescribed ADs - dosulepin - about a year ago. Felt better pretty quickly but have twice tried to come off it and both times after a few weeks, ended up spiralling downwards very quickly and quite badly. I am now back on ADs again after being recommended them by my GP.
I have had CBT in the past and it really helped but it's hard to remember it when you're feeling incredibly anxious.
In the past year since I first went on ADs, my husband lost his job, I have found out I have a heart condition, I now have two jobs to keep the money coming in and my Dad's not been very well. I keep trying to tell myself that it's just a bad year but I am really worried that I'll never be able to come off the ADs and that i should really try and get off them soon as a year seems a long time.
Anyway, I just wondered if anyone else has had a similar problem or could give me advice/support.
