please don't do that, talk to us.
btw I am trying to get on with sertraline, couldn't manage much yet because of side effects, I wish I could, still trying.

MyArksNotReady · 03/04/2015 23:07

I am on that drug too. I have felt like you do. Here if you want to talk.

GraysAnalogy · 03/04/2015 23:07

What's going on piper, talk to us.

Is there a reason you haven't taken your medication btw?

Leviticus · 03/04/2015 23:10

Piper please talk it out here instead. What's going on? We're listening.

Carbonel · 03/04/2015 23:10

Piper are you sure you're not me?
Feel exactly the same so not the best person to advise as I could tell you how to do what your op line says ...
Will lurk in the hope someone is able to help

Leviticus · 03/04/2015 23:11

Yes why have you avoided the meds?

bluebell345 · 03/04/2015 23:11

200mg is quite high dose I guess. suddenly stopping it may not be good.

Carbonel · 03/04/2015 23:11

PS can you call the crisis team? They are there for just this

You need to taper off piper. I stopped completely and went botflop. It can make you feel really bad Flowers

bluebell345 · 03/04/2015 23:18

you better take them then piper, I have friends who take ads for years.

I can't get to the medication box as DH still does not trust me with the key, so it's a pointless thread

Why has he been with old in your drugs? You need to contact someone so they know your carer is with old in your prescribed meds.

Itscurtainsforyou · 03/04/2015 23:21

Just because you can't get to the pills doesn't mean this is a pointless thread.
You're feeling low and need help (talking, meds, etc).
We are here.

Itscurtainsforyou · 03/04/2015 23:23

It's not uncommon (& completely understandable) to stop the drugs when you start to feel better. Trouble is that often it's the drugs making you feel better, so if you stop you come crashing down.

bluebell345 · 03/04/2015 23:23

he must give your tablets regularly then.

GraysAnalogy · 03/04/2015 23:24

Are you able to ask for your medication?

It isn't a pointless thread Flowers

DragonsCanHop · 03/04/2015 23:27

Hello Piper, sorry you are feeling so low Sad do you have access to the cupboard to take your meds daily or is your husband helping with that.

Before not taking your meds were you feeling better?

I could wake DH, but I know it would be a bad move.

OP posts:
Itscurtainsforyou · 03/04/2015 23:29

Why would it be a bad move? You're feeling low and want to sort it.

Will taking the ads help tonight or do you think you need the crisis team?

Carbonel · 03/04/2015 23:31

Why a bad move - you do not need to tell him you are suicidal?
Does he know you stopped? Could you just tell him you forgot your sertraline and need one tonight and if you have any take a sleeping pill to get through the night.

RJnomore · 03/04/2015 23:31

Oh piper, no. I "know" you from here - you need to take care of yourself.

DH is just beginning to trust me.

OP posts:
Carbonel · 04/04/2015 00:07

Can you get thro til he wakes up? If not you need to wake him.
In the long term he would rather you did. I know it is hard for both of you but at least you were feeling better so can do again. He just needs to be a bit more proactive on making sure you keep taking the meds.

Itscurtainsforyou · 04/04/2015 00:08

I agree with carbonel.

How're you feeling piper? Can you sleep/get through the night? If not, wake him.
