Please don't tell me to go to my GP. I probably will eventually but not right now.
I have been on ADs for a couple of years for a number of reasons. It has become apparent in the last year that I am autistic (not diagnosed yet but there is little doubt about it) and this may account for some of my difficulties.
I went to the dentist recently with tooth pain and it appears that I have been clenching my jaw so hard that I have cracked two teeth. Apparently this is a side effect of all SRIs so changing my medication will not help.
I have stopped taking my meds for the last couple of weeks and am starting to feel overwhelmed again - would quite like to curl up in a dark corner and not come out. I seem to still be occasionally clenching my teeth but it is more obviously related to when I am stressed or tense rather than simply all the time.
What do I do? I can't exercise at the moment which is another thing that would help. I just want to eat and sleep and neither of those things are helping. I am contemplating going back on my ADs but I'm so scared I'm going to lose all my teeth if I do.
I have taken up far too much of my GPs time in recent months. I would like to resolve this myself - I am conscious that there are far bigger problems in the world than mine.
