Meds.
Hi all,
I'm currently on 40mg of Fluexotine(sp?) and I don't think it's working. I'm feeling even worse then before, I'm suicidal, upset, teary, self-harming everyday. I feel really lost and kind of fed up, like I have no energy for nothing, even talking to people. My mind just kind of wants to shutdown and give up. I'm fed up. Help me? |
Hey love,
Sorry to hear you're feeling so bad at the moment. The thing with any medication is that the effects are constantly changing. its rare for someone to find a med that works and stick with it at the same dose forever. Sometimes they need increasing, decreasing, things added or removed, to sort of keep the same effect. We build up tolerance to certain medications and it's important to review them with your doctor or psychiatrist every now and then to check their effectiveness. If you don't feel they're working for you anymore book an appointment with your doctor. Don't just stop taking them without medical input. Hope you feel better soon. Jodie |
I agree with what Jodie has said, but how long have you been on them? it can take between 6-8 weeks for them to start making any effect on you.

^ Oh, yeah, and that :P

If you've only recently started taking them, anti depressants can often make you feel worse before you feel better. I remember when I started on Trazodone I became a lot worse than before, I just lay on the sofa and when I had to go out to the chemist was in floods of tears. However it got better and it really worked for me.
I hope that you feel better soon. *Hugs* xxx |
