Hey
Was going to name change but I guess there is no point.
I recently managed to withdraw myself off of 225mg anti d in the morning and a 150mg one in the evening.
It's taken me a couple of weeks gradually splitting the capsule and taking a lower amount each day but the worst is over and it was hard .. mostly the dizzy spells and I seem to be sick if I eat a meal rather than anything snack wise.
What is troubling me though is I was first put on anti ds as a 21 year old due to post natal depression and it's been on and off ever since ( 47 ) now.
I feel like I cry more now and feel things more even nice things make me cry in a good way , just a bit nervous that I still feel so unhappy inside and low , really really low and drained.
Nothing has changed in my circumstances to make me feel better or worse I was just scared to think I would be needing them forever when it's already been half of my "grown up "life as it is was.
I'm
On hrt for peri , I just wonder if anyone else has left them ( veneflaxine or any others ) totally behind and feels better for not being on them
Thank you 😊

Is there anything else you have added in to take over from them?
I'm thinking therapy or exercise or meditation or gardening, some thing like that?
Well done, exciting times for you.
