ive been diagnosed with reoccurring depression disorder and anxiety my first episode was after my first son was born and they put me on fluoxetine which seemed to work I then had another episode and was hospitalised for 5 weeks I was discharged on 300mg venlafaxine and 75mg quetiapine. I am currently going through another episode and my gp has put me back on 300mg venlafaxine 75mg quetiapine and 20 mg of diazepam. The thing is it’s been nearly 4 months now and I feel worse than when I started I either feel numb or I’m crying constantly thinking I’m a complete burden on everyone I just want to stay in bed and hide away which I can’t because I have 2 boys aged 14 and 7 I have no appetite and when I went back to the doctors I was told she had went as far as she could with me and would refer me to a cpn which I’m meeting on Monday has anyone else felt this way on venlafaxine and do you think I will be able to change my antidepressants I dread every morning as my anxiety is through the roof and then I’m constantly having to hide my emotions I don’t want to feel like this anymore any advise would be appreciated
the other thing is I’ve just started a new job and can’t afford to lose it due to financial reasons but i
