very low, will anybody talk to me

[natts]

of course your not selfish, but it would be nice for you to have some tlc

i know i should but I been on citralopram they gave me sweats palpitations and panick attacks{which stoped once off them} and prozac,did work for a while but then I crashed again, and the last lot lustral were great untill the dreaded sweats.

i am on cipralex and its working well and it works quicker than most ad's give your gp a ring im sure they will be glad to help

Ask about Fluoxotine.

i have already gone cold turkey,what a div, and am too embarrased to tell the dr. I am improved honestly, i feel like i am sitting on top of the depression and winning.up hill struggle but winning. but i have been gently sliding down over the last four days and now feel over whelmed

isn't fluoxotine prazac?

I'm starting doula training and i don't want to put it off because i feel so frustrated at the hospital and feel i am not able to support the women the way things are.

thankyou all it's nice that you all understand so well.

Fluoxetine is Prozac and I went on it in December and it has helped me.

Dear natts

Sorry you are feeling so low. I adree with what darlingbud says about the ADs How long have you been taking the ADs? I had horrid sweats when I first started on paroxetine (seroxat) but they wore off. Also ADs make lots of people very anxious/panicky in the first few weeks which is hard because that is when you need the help most. If you crash after somthing works it might be because dose is not high enough. Can you not go back to your GP and get some help - counselling maybe not just pills. It sounds as if you have a lot going on and it is all a bit too much. When I was very down I felt completely alone, and it sounds as if you do to. YOU ARE NOT. We cannot be in your head or your house right now to help but we are still here.

thanks gg, i've been on and off them since the birth of dd 1999, only for six months then again when ds stopped breastfeeding, didn't kick in till my cycle returned,but has been around since.

Hey Natts

I haven't really got any advice to give, just wanted you to know that someone is reading your bumps

dont go cold turkey on ADs , could make matters worse- go back to your GP and insist ( or get someone to insist for you) that you try something else. also- dont be afraide to ask friends/ family to come and help you out so you dont get too stressed.

thanks

feeling a weight lifted, handed in nvq and i have a vew loose ends to tie up and i'm done. thanks all. I am having an ok day today, done night shift so little tired but going to try to deligate more and struggle less.

Natts, don't go cold turkey with your ads, my dh tried that and didn't even tell me, he was evil to be around. Go to your doc and ask about gradually reducing the dosage.

thanks but i've been off them for a few weeks now and i do feel i'm in control of the depression,most of the time. my personal situation is very stressful at the mo and i feel bogged down but i honestly feel that i wouldn't feel much better with ad's because juggleing a lot of stuff. nothing awful just alot of ball iykwim.
i have been on and off them for so long i want to know who i really am.
If i get bad i promise to go back on them.
I feel i'm sitting on depression and winning at the mo. not the other way round.
I know it's a uphill struggle but i really want to try.
thanks for your opinion though
