Hi Nick sounds like you are in a tough place at the moment, all the symptoms you mentioned sound very much like depression to me. I have had depression on and off for most of my life. In my experience anxiety often comes with depression, I am assuming your xanx has been prescribed by your doctor! It is always best to discus withdrawing from any medication before you start because the withdrawal process can cause similar symptoms to the original illness. I have found researching depression and anxiety helpful. I also find these forums helpful; I have discovered my depression is not like anyone else, each experience of depression is unique to each person, with common symptoms. I’m not good at writing but what I’m trying to say is - try not to compare your depression with anyone else. Write how you feel to get it out of your head, it doesn’t matter about spelling or punctuation just let it out. I can only speak from my own experience so I'm sorry if this doesn't help. I will certainly be thinking of you, take care of yourself
Thanks yes from a doctor but he said I had to come of them and take a med that helps whatever I have so I have started to taper off myself and wait to see a doc about what's wrong good luck to you
Oh I see, hopefully the new meds will work for you and thanks for the good luck, take care.
