What tablets ur taking now u may add librax at night so that ur nausea may be controlled try all the best
Hi Lee I am sorry that you are going through this. Have you considered seeing a naturopath as they may be able to give you something natural for the nausea and vomiting. I swear by them and as our bodies are organic then we should be putting organic supplements back in to help us heal. Just a thought.
I would think you would have the courage to do anything for your children like stay on antidepressants. They don't agree with you? How? They don't agree with a lot of people in the beginning but for me, the initiation period is worth going through so I could enjoy life again. Especially my children! My advice to you. Put your kids first and suck it up. I and many others on here know right well the effects of starting antidepressants. Have you tried more than one? I feel for you as I know how it feels but have courage for your children.
Hi Please discuss the side effects of these drugs with your doctor. These drugs do not work and they can increase the anxiety and depression. Please ask the dr for a referral to a therapist cbt, Mindfullness, Yoga, relaxation breathing techniques are usual avenues before resorting the chemical cosh. Keep positive, this will pass but unlikely whilst taking drugs. There are support forums online too fromm people who are unable to tolerate anti depressants. The problem is weaning off any drug eg benzos and ads as they take an awful long time to wean off. I trained as a nurse.xxx
I am the same lee..Antidepressants do not agree with me either...Have you tried natural remedies...my GP told me to try st johns wort...you need to go to someone who understands you..who specalises in natural meds...DRs are very quick to throw A/Ds at you...but they are not for everyone...but you need something. to calm you. and lift your mood...A one to one talk with a therapest .would really help you...There are loads of things out there that can help you....x
I am also looking for support forum for those who cannot tolerate a.ds . Can you point me in right direction
yes but in a PM if u request a PM I will respond. x
what medication are you taking and what dose?
have you tried different ad's in the past?
maybe the dose is not right for you. generally one should start with low doses and then increase until the full effect is reached. people who start with a maintenance dose often develop nausea and vomiting. so in this case maybe a cut back to a smaller dose will do the trick.
