Should I go back on ADs?

[Dizzywizz]

Can't stop shouting at the children. I'm a mess. I have been on so many types and always had side effects. Last time I spoke to dr basically nothing they can do if they don't want side effects. He told me to try Kalms but they do fuck all. I wish I had killed myself before I had the dcs, now it's too late. I told the dr I felt like this. Can't afford counselling and gp wait list 6 months.

How long have you been on different meds for? Maybe they side effects would subside if you kept on them longer but obviously I don't know how long you were on them.

Are you from the U.K.? X

Hi, thanks for answering. Yes uk. I've tried different ones for about 6 months each, apart from the last one I tried that just made me so jittery I stopped after a couple of months.

I also have a chronic illness and so some of the ads can't be taken alongside my other meds.

Have you only tried SSRIs? I really struggled with side effects on citalopram, setraline and paraxotine. Next time GP suggested I try lofepramine (a tricyclic). I get some postural hypotension (dizzy on standing up) but as long as I drink plenty and take my time standing up that's manageable. I feel loads better on it. It's worth discussing alternatives if you feel this low. Also get yourself on the counselling waiting list but in the mean time maybe try the online mood gym and some mindfulness? I use the Headspace app which is really good.

No last time it was not a ssri but I don't remember the name, that was the one I got the crazy jitters with. The lofepramine I will ask about but it looks likeit could cause a problem with one of my meds.

I will give headspace a try again thank you. And I have remembered my company gives access to a separate company that can provide counselling so I am going to try that way.

Thank you for your messabe
