Hi anyone still on these, been on them 9 weeks now on 75mg, still get worrying feelings and weepy feelings, but I still, go to work full time, ect. A new job role came up, so I got a interview out of it, but I cannot seems to stop worrying about it, it made my depression and anxiety worse, so decided it not the right time for me. Am I wrong to forget about it and just concerate on getting better, first. Will these depression feelings get better in time. So fed up now, I was on these before for 12 years, and doctor took me off them, because I had too many dips, but I think thats to do with the menopause which started 3 years ago. He put me on Sertraline, omg they are horrible, coudn't tollerate it anymore after 10 months. Do you think I should go back to Doctors soon or wait till my next appointment in 3 weeks. Thanks
my experience with depression is that it comes and goes. There are times when you will forget how it feels to be ‘normal’ ie as you probably were earlier in your life. A tip is to lower your expectations of life, much is in fact a grind but learn to be content in the grind and over time you’ll resist depression better, but I think like the rest of us you’ll struggle with it a long time, so many of us are in the same boat.
Hi Gaynor, I don’t know about this particular medication but can totally relate to the unpredictability of hormones, I hate being a woman, it’s so hard to judge what is going on. (Is is the depression, anxiety or hormones? Grrrr… !) Given that we have this extra layer of confusion, that can annoyingly come and go - I think me personally? I would take the job. Menopause is a lot easier to explain than depression, after all! All the best x
Hi Kate, then why doesnt the doctor reliase this, if its the menopause that does not help my depression, I might ask for HRT as well, wonder if there is a drug out there that will help with both depression and menopause together. Big things always trigger my depression, then when I decided in my head not to go for the job, I feel a bit calmer, but still very weak in my head, like, I will always be like this, I wont ever be normal, then I cry, everyone says give it time, it will get better and you will be fighting the world.. I hope so. Thank you Kate for replying to me.
