Anyone not got on with SSRI's?

[Misskittycat16]

Currently waiting for a specialist to call but after 2.5 weeks of waiting after calling the crisis team I feel lost.
Have tried Citalopram, Sertraline, Mirtazipine,Escitalopram, Fluoxetine and had a brief spell on Veneflaxin. The side effects were horrendous on all of them ( slightly less so on mirtazipine)
I've given all of these a fair crack...like 5-6 weeks, even my GP is at a loss and he has been brilliant.

I've lost all hope that there is an antidepressant that is going to help. I am on Propanolol which helps with the heart palpitations but my anxiety is off the scale. Awful knots in my tummy which never seem to subside. I take a small amount of Diazepam and a zopiclone for sleep but it's never a restful sleep.

Has anyone been in the situation? I've wanted to die but I just couldn't do that to my daughter.

Thank you, I will have a read. I'm not sure how to PM you from the app, I will log in on my laptop tomorrow and PM you.

@EyesEyesopenwideawake I'm struggling to pm you, qorryvmy brain isn't working as well as it should do!

Have PM'd you 😊

@Misskittycat16 I know a website but it's about £40-50 per session

and btw, you're a good mum. The fact that you're doubting yourself, want to get help and want to improve for your daughter shows this.

@crochetcrazy1978 hi, I’m currently on SSRI’s and I feel same as u, they aren’t working/making me far worse. I might try the one u suggested. How did u find the change over?

Doc has just prescribed me mirtazapine

Yes it was fine no issues at all, sleep so well now. Just watch for weight gain

Sorry I know this is a zombie thread but came across it while searching up Chlomiprimine.

OP, I don't get on with SSRI's either. Currently trying agomelatine after 6 failed attempts at SSRI's and a SNRI. It's a battle. They made me worse and agomelatine is doing nothing either only making my hair fall out.

Have an review appointment soon about medication and going to ask to try Chlomiprimine.

Hi, in the same boat here. Ssri literally send me manic/ highly agitated with anxiety through the roof. Mirtazapine I can tolerate but not helping at all. Thinking of asking for anti psychotic. I haven't heard of chlomiprimine?
