Hi I'm on 150mg od Dosulepin 3 weeks today increased from 75mg from Feb 19. it's been a rollercoaster.. I went away for 4 days on a canal boat, I really enjoyed it, as my depression and anxiety symptoms went away that I was my normal self.. I am now back home, now I can feel my symptoms, but not has bad as I first had it back in February.. why is this happening, I find it confusing.. I'm hoping in time I be back like I was my normal self.. is anyone else like this...
is anyone else like what, normal? If that is what your asking nobody on this planet can define normal because everyone has there own issues. you can have your own definition or normal. As far as the question on Anxiety, I Have been having panic attacks for 12 Years and over this time I have learned how to cope with them. Whether it would be (CBT), (DBT), Meditation or Hypnotherapy. In time with proper treatment, counseling and medication you will start to feel like your self again.
Hi Dana .. what I am trying to say is that I felt myself for 4 days as I was occupied when I went away. but now I am home back to my normal life, I still feel my symptoms, I have only been on these AD at 150mg for 3 weeks today, I would have thought they kick in by now, but I’ve been told on each increase of meds it’s still going to take a lot more time to feeling myself. I am already having CBT .
that sounds great, SSRI’S can take up to 2 weeks to 6 months to fully kick in but if your getting a positive response thats good to hear. CbT Will defiantly help. im actually jelous of your vacation! get well soon
oh my mistake you take a Tricyclic antidepressant mainly for depression, if that doesnt work out talk to your doctor about ssris CELEXA worked great for me for 10 years now i take Zoloft
Hi Dana , thanks, have been on Sertraline for 9 months I was still not quite myself on 100mg.. so had to come off them.. Dosulepin on 75 mg worked for me for years… but was having too many dips.. due to menopause.. doctors didn’t realise I was on them before and could have increased them but didn’t.. . so had to start the whole process again and I’ve forgotten what’s it’s like being myself..
