What do I say to go back on ADs?

I was on fluoxetine about 6 years ago, felt better after about 4 months, gradually took myself off them.

I have struggled with depression on and off over the years (countless threads on here as flamesparrow and many name changes), and I have finally accepted that I cannot fix this alone.

I can't just march into the doctors and say "I want to go back onto fluoxetine". They would just me. I am depressed. I know I am depressed. If I just say that to them, again, will they not say ?

Do I have to go in and sob? (Admittedly that may happen anyway)

If I don't have this straight in my head I will go in and tell them my ankle hurts or something!

I thought about your angel card offer Surfer and decided to do a one card "is this the right decision" kind of thing with my tarot - a very resounding yes!

I have never done angel cards before btw, I don't know what I need to do, but I like the idea of you doing mine

Oh cool. Just give me 3 numbers between 1 and 47. I will do it for you tomorrow as dh is just on his way back from seeing his mum in hospital. I'll email the reading to you when it's done.

Oxactin? He said it was a different name for fluoextine which iirc was prozac?
