Hoping for some advice please. I had a sudden burnout/breakdown 8 weeks ago after a visit to my gynae surgeon (i've had lots of nasty ops), I literally just went bang the day after and i've been largely unable to do anything since, can't get out of bed, wake up feeling utterly terrified, cry for most of the day, just about manage to fake it for my children before crawling into bed. I've gone from working, looking after kids, being bubbly, outgoing etc to a shell of a person. This is the third time this has happened in 3 years. I have a condition called Ehlers Danlos, which I think makes medication tricky, I had a v bad reaction to escitalopram the first time this happened and i'm petrified to try again, but I literally can't go on like this as I can't function, can't cook, shop, drive, see anyone, i'm just existing and haven't left the house for a week. I just sit and sob for hours. I paid and did a genes test, which showed that I had contraindications to most anti depressants. Has anyone been in a similar situation? I've just been prescribed fluoxotine but i'm too scared to take it. Thank you in advance.
